Conservatorships

Conservatorships

A conservatorship may be needed when someone is unable to manage his or her own financial affairs and/or personal care, and has no viable alternative method of delegating these duties to another person.

Preparing the proper estate planning documents such as a revocable living trust and/or a durable power of attorney can avoid a court-supervised conservatorship. However, for those without such estate planning mechanisms in place, it may be necessary to establish a court-supervised conservatorship of the estate. We can help you establish a court-supervised conservatorship and provide ongoing advice with respect to the conservators’ rights and powers under both state law and the guidelines set by the court.
