What should be done when a conservatee regains capacity to make their own medical decisions?

When a conservatee regains the capacity to make their own medical decisions, it is essential to reduce the conservatorship's medical scope through the proper court procedures. This means that the conservatorship should be modified to reflect the new capability of the conservatee, as they are now able to make informed decisions regarding their healthcare. A reduction in the conservatorship's authority respects the rights of the individual while ensuring that their autonomy is honored.

Maintaining or leaving the conservatorship unchanged would not align with the best interests of the conservatee, as it would ignore their regained capacity. Consulting with the conservatee's family about their wishes is certainly important but does not address the legal requirement of modifying the conservatorship through the court. Therefore, the correct action is to reduce the conservatorship’s medical scope to empower the conservatee in their decision-making as they have the right to reclaim control over their health matters.
