What Is A Guardianship And Conservatorship?
Courts set up guardianships and conservatorships when an individual is incapacitated and someone else steps in to make determinations regarding their finances or medical needs. In some instances the guardian makes all major decisions regarding the individual’s well-being. In the case of a limited guardianship, on the other hand, the guardian only makes determinations regarding a limited number of circumstances.
While conservators play a similar role as guardians, courts appoint conservators to manage the financial decisions and issues regarding property. Because of the important role they play, conservators face close supervision by the courts to prevent mismanagement from occurring. This sometimes includes providing detailed accounting and submitting records regarding decisions made on behalf of the other person.
