Were you injured in some way? Were you not able to make your own decisions?
What were or are the actual damages to you from this situation? When did you become aware of your mother's fraud?
Your situation involves several complex legal issues (SCRA, probate law, conservatorships, judicial procedure, and potential fraud). Because of that, your best course is likely to narrow the issues and have them evaluated by attorneys or agencies that have authority over each specific area. A few general observations:
SCRA violations-
If you were on active duty during the conservatorship proceedings, the SCRA may have afforded you certain protections, depending on the circumstances. Whether those protections were violated depends on the facts of the case and the procedural history. You may wish to consult:
A private attorney experienced in SCRA litigation.
Your branch's legal assistance office (or another military legal assistance office if you're no longer serving).
The U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, which has authority to enforce certain SCRA provisions.
Extrinsic fraud-
Courts distinguish between intrinsic fraud (false evidence or testimony presented during the case) and extrinsic fraud (conduct that prevented someone from having a fair opportunity to participate in the case). Whether a court will set aside an old judgment based on extrinsic fraud depends heavily on state law, the evidence, and the amount of time that has passed.
Conservatorship issues-
If you believe the conservatorship was established without required statutory procedures, an attorney experienced in California probate litigation would be the appropriate person to evaluate whether there are any remaining remedies after termination of the conservatorship.
Attorney or judicial misconduct-
Complaints to the State Bar or the Commission on Judicial Performance address professional conduct. Those bodies generally do not overturn court orders or award damages, although they may investigate misconduct if supported by evidence.
Surety bond issues-
If you believe a bond was improperly discharged or a fiduciary breached duties covered by the bond, a probate litigator can evaluate whether any claim against the surety remains legally viable. Time limits and procedural requirements are often critical.
Property or asset claims-
If you believe property was wrongfully taken or transferred, gather all relevant records (court filings, deeds, financial records, probate filings, military records, correspondence, etc.) and have a California attorney determine which legal theories may still be available. Whether Probate Code §§ 850 or 859 apply depends on the specific facts and procedural posture.
Practical next steps? Rather than pursuing every issue simultaneously, consider organizing your case into a timeline that includes:
Dates of active military service.
Every conservatorship filing and court order.
Medical evaluations (or the absence of them).
Notices served (or allegedly not served).
Property transfers.
Bond filings and discharge.
Appeals or prior complaints.
The evidence supporting each allegation.
That timeline will make it much easier for an attorney to assess the case.
If multiple attorneys have declined representation, you might ask them specifically why (e.g., statute of limitations, lack of evidence, judicial immunity, or another legal obstacle). That information can help identify whether there is a viable remaining claim or whether additional evidence is needed.
An attorney who regularly handles California probate litigation and civil appeals, particularly one familiar with conservatorships and the SCRA, is in the best position to evaluate whether any legal remedies remain.
