If you or a loved one can no longer care for yourself, a conservatorship or guardianship can ensure your health and finances will continue to be looked after. When an individual is no longer able to make decisions for themselves, having a legal authority step in and act for their health and welfare is crucial.
Because of the role of a conservatorship or guardianship is so powerful, the process of achieving this status is often involved and time consuming. Having the guidance of a legal professional ensures everything is correctly prepared and legally binding.
At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, we’ll work with you to determine which option would be best. We have experienced conservatorship and guardianship attorneys in Springfield, Tennessee, who will provide you with legal guidance and support to ensure all your needs and wishes are met.
While similar, there are some differences between conservatorships and guardianships. A conservatorship is usually in place so that another individual can make health care and financial decisions for an adult 18 years of age or older. This adult may be experiencing either a temporary or permanent incapacitation that makes it challenging or impossible to care for themselves. This can include individuals with a mental or physical disability or those with dementia.
A guardianship, on the other hand, is typically for individuals younger than 18. The individual in charge of being the guardian is responsible for managing the minor’s personal and financial decisions. Typically, this caretaker role will end when the minor reaches their 18th birthday.
The process of obtaining either conservatorships or guardianships in the Springfield area can be an involved process. Working with a legal firm that has experience in estate planning ensures the process goes more smoothly. You’ll be able to work with an experienced legal professional who understands how to preserve your assets and ensure you understand what to expect throughout the process.

I cannot recommend Thomas Steelman highly enough! From the very start, he made the entire process of setting up our estate trust absolutely painless. His expertise and clear explanations turned what I expected to be a daunting task into a smooth and stress-free experience.
Not only did he handle every aspect of our estate trust with great attention to detail, but he (and law firm colleagues) also took care of transferring over our home deeds so we didn’t have to deal with the hassle of going to the county office ourselves. That alone saved us so much time and stress!
I honestly thought the process was going to cost a small fortune, but I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was. Most importantly, though, Thomas gave us peace of mind knowing that our hard-earned assets are protected and will go exactly where we want them—without placing unnecessary burdens on our loved ones.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and professional estate trust attorney, Thomas and team are the ones to trust. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
