§ 1490 Guardian Means Conservator

• •The term "guardian" is defined as a conservator.
• •It applies to adults and married minors.
• •The definition does not apply when Section 1510.1 says otherwise.

A married 17‑year‑old gets into a car accident and needs surgery.

A law that requires a "guardian" to give permission for the surgery is really talking about the minor's conservator, not a parent or someone else.
