A conservatorship is a legal arrangement wherein a guardian is appointed to manage the personal or financial affairs of someone who cannot do so independently.
This process is often necessary for adults with disabilities, the elderly, or individuals facing incapacitation due to illness. Conservatorships help protect vulnerable individuals and ensure decisions are made in their best interests.
