Conservatorship

What is a Conservatorship?

A conservatorship is a court proceeding to appoint a manager for the financial affairs or the personal care of a person who is either physically or mentally unable to handle either or both.

When Might a Conservatorship be Needed?

If you suffer from an incurable disease or are involved in a debilitating accident and are unable to manage your own affairs, state law might require someone to go to court to have a conservator appointed by the court.
 
The conservator is given the authority to make financial decisions and handle your financial affairs, under court supervision, when you lack the capacity to manage them on your own.
 
The conservator has to make periodic reports to the court and petition the court for additional authority under certain circum-stances. The court will often require your conservator to purchase a "surety bond" which is a type of insurance policy, to protect the conservatorship estate. The costs and expenses of a conservatorship are paid by your estate.
  • When you know a person who needs someone to protect them from neglect, financial abuse and isolation,
  • When an individual has no family and is not able to completely manage their own affairs,
  • When an individual has family and wishes not to burden them regarding assistance,
  • When relatives/friends are busy with their own lives and need assistance for the care of a loved one.

Who can be Appointed as Conservator?

The court can appoint a family member, a friend, the Public Guardian or a private party/agency.

The Public Guardian

The Public Guardian has been named by the Court as conservator for more than 2,500 persons who are physically or mentally disabled. These individuals cannot care for themselves without help. When such a person is brought to the attention of the Public Guardian, an investigation is made to determine whether friends or family are able and willing to act in the disabled person's best interests. If not, the Public Guardian petitions the Court to be named conservator, and the disabled person becomes the conservatee.
