In Re Conservatorship of Sophia Elaine Taylor

Case Number
M2016-01288-COA-R3-CV

This appeal arises from the removal of a conservator.  The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (“the Department”) filed a petition in the Probate Court for Davidson County (“the Probate Court”) seeking removal of Cheryl R. Russell (“Russell”) as conservator for Sophia Elaine Taylor (“Taylor”).  Russell, Taylor’s mother, was alleged to have interfered repeatedly with Taylor’s medical treatment.  After a hearing, the Probate Court removed Russell as Taylor’s conservator and named ComCare, Inc. (“ComCare”) as temporary conservator.  Russell appeals to this Court.  Finding no abuse of discretion or other reversible error, we affirm the judgment of the Probate Court.
