Get expert guidance for conservatorships.

A conservatorship is a court order in which a judge appoints a person as conservator of the person and/or estate of another person who is unable to care for themselves, make financial decisions, and/or is at risk of undue influence.  This need can result from age, medical illness, injury, neurocognitive disorder, and/or physical or mental disability.

Conservatorship of the Person: The conservator will be responsible for the conservatee’s medical care, providing food and shelter, and other physical needs of the person.

Conservatorship of the Estate: The conservator will be responsible for the financial affairs of the conservatee and ensure that the conservatee’s assets are managed properly (ex. paying all bills, managing property, etc.).

Limited Conservatorship: A limited conservatorship gives a person the power to care for an adult with a developmental disability.  The goal is to help the conservatee maintain his/her independence  and self-reliance.
