Conservatorships

What is Conservatorships?

Conservatorships are legal arrangements established to protect and manage the affairs of individuals who are unable to care for themselves due to physical or mental limitations. This legal process involves appointing a responsible person or entity, known as a conservator, to oversee the financial and personal matters of the incapacitated individual, known as the conservatee. Conservatorships can be crucial for ensuring the well-being and financial stability of vulnerable adults, including elderly individuals with dementia or younger adults with severe disabilities. The conservator's responsibilities may include managing assets, paying bills, making healthcare decisions, and reporting to the court on the conservatee's status. While conservatorships provide essential protection, they also involve complex legal procedures and ongoing responsibilities.
