Various situations may leave someone unable to make medical, legal, and financial decisions, either for a short period or permanently. Conservatorship and guardianship enable you to transfer these decision-making powers to someone who acts on their behalf. It’s useful in many scenarios, such as caring for an aging parent or someone with a disability. It also helps you prepare for the unexpected, such as an accident or other medical situation that leaves you unable to make your own decisions.Â
Whatever your reasons for requiring conservatorship or guardianship services, turn to our attorneys, who focus on this and other similar legal situations. We help you prepare the necessary legal documentation and work with you throughout the court process to appoint an individual as a decision-maker.Â
A conservatorship allows an individual (conservator) to make healthcare and financial decisions for someone 18 or older. This legal right helps in situations where an adult isn’t able to care for themself due to aging, disability, or a temporary incapacitating condition. A conservatorship covers scenarios where people lose the ability to make decisions for themselves before putting in place a power of attorney or medical power of attorney.Â
Here are a few people for whom you might need to set up conservatorship:
Guardianship gives someone the legal right to care for a child, particularly when a minor’s parents can’t care for them. The guardian will care for physical and mental well-being, as well as assets like inheritance or life insurance funds. When a guardian controls financial assets, the court has to authorize certain expenditures or property sales.Â
Guardianship often ends when a minor turns 18 unless incapacitated and unable to look after themselves or make money-related decisions. A parent or guardian may also request to extend guardianship until someone turns 25, though they will need evidence to show why this action is necessary.Â
