Riverside Superior Court Rule 7400 (pdf ) requires each proposed conservator to view the educational program provided by the court. This program provides an overview of the duties of a conservator.
The program is divided into two sessions. The first session covers conservatorship generally, and also addresses conservatorship of the person. All proposed conservators are required to view this first session.

The second session addresses conservatorship of the estate. Only proposed conservators
who are requesting estate powers need to view this second session.
