Conservatorship Legal Documents Preparation
A
conservatorship is a legal right given to a person to be responsible for the
assets and finances and/or the physical care of a person deemed fully or
partially incapable of providing these necessities for himself or herself. Conservatorship
Legal Documents Preparation
In
some jurisdictions, a conservatorship may be referred to as a “guardianship of
the estate” or by some similar alternative name. It may be necessary to
petition a court to appoint a conservator for persons:
Who
have physical or mental problems that prevent them from managing their own financial
affairs;
Who
have no person already legally authorized to assume responsibility for them;
and
Where
other kinds of assistance with financial management will not adequately protect
them.
A
conservatorship can be set up after a judge decides that a person (called the
“conservatee”) can’t take care of himself or herself or his or her finances.
Often, this is because the person is in a coma, is suffering from advanced
Alzheimer’s disease, or has some other serious illness or injury. Legal Document Preparation

Sometimes,
a conservator only manages a conservatee’s financial affairs. This is a
conservator of the “estate.” However, a conservator may also manage a
conservatee’s daily activities. This is a conservator of the “person.”
