Guardianships

What is Conservatorship?
A conservatorship is a court process to obtain legal authority to make and carry out decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to do so themselves. These decisions may be related to healthcare, finances, or both. In some states, this is called a guardianship.
What are the Conservator’s responsibilities?
The court will determine the Conservator’s responsibilities. Typically, they will make decisions about the person’s health and welfare, manage the person’s assets, and communicate with family and friends. The Conservator will be required to provide documentation of their activities as it relates to the person who is under the Conservatorship.
When is a Conservatorship needed?
A conservatorship can be needed for medical reasons, such as if a person is unable to take care of themselves due to a long-term illness or injury, or due to a lack of understanding about finances or managing their own affairs.
Conservatorships can also be needed to help those whose health and finances are at risk due to elder abuse or fraud.
Who will be the Conservator?
Usually, a family member chooses to be a Conservator. If you don’t want the responsibility of being the Conservator, then the court can appoint an agency or attorney to take the role.
Please be advised in this initial call no legal advice will be given.
