Guardianships & Conservatorships
Establishing a Guardianship (for a minor) or Conservatorship (for an
incapacitated adult) with the court ensures that a loved one's legal
affairs — whether they be financial or health-related — will be taken
care of in a time of need by a friend or family member.
A Guardianship or Conservatorship is a case to adjudicate someone
incompetent to manage their own affairs, either because of age or by
mental and/or physical incapacity.
The Court will require medical evidence substantiating the claims. Based
upon the evidence, the Court may appoint different individuals as Guardian
or Conservator over the person and the person's assets.
Through the use of Durable Power of Attorney, a Conservatorship can be avoided. Through a Durable Power of Attorney, an "attorney in fact" is appointed to manage the affairs of the person.
