This right shall also apply in subsequent proceedings to reestablish conservatorship.\n(d) The Superior Court may grant a conservator, appointed under this Chapter, with the power to place his conservatee in a facility for psychiatric or psychological care only after finding that alternative, non- institutional care and support are not available on an out-patient basis, and after finding that the facility has the capability to provide treatment which is appropriate to the needs of the gravely disabled individual.","path":["Title 10: Health and Safety","Division 4 - Guam Health Act","Chapter 82: Mentally Ill Persons","ARTICLE 7: CONSERVATORSHIP FOR GRAVELY DISABLED PERSONS"],"source_url":"https://col.guamcourts.gov/sites/default/files/10gc082.pdf","current_through":"P.L. 38-133 (June 4, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-27T03:07:58Z","sha256":"ef74bd763bd35a2259d8f39df903c8b7db4e86d578aaba5518432231c2328df8","source_id":"us-gu","stale":false,"prev":"us-gu/10-gca-82610","next":"us-gu/10-gca-82702"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
