Conservatorships

A conservatorship is the process by which a court takes on supervision of a person when they can no longer live fully independently. Someone, often a family member, takes on the role of “conservator” — essentially the court’s representative — to make sure the “conservatee’s” needs are met.

The conservatorship process can be expensive, complicated and stressful. It is important to have competent legal counsel to see you through.

The conservatorship process can also be avoided through proper estate planning. You may be concerned that a loved one of yours may sometime in the future need assistance with their financial or personal affairs and has not planned for that situation. Please encourage your loved one to consult with a competent attorney and create a plan for his or her future care.
