Conservatorships

A conservatorship is basically a guardianship for an incapacitated adult. Conservatorship can be solely for the estate, meaning the person’s finances or for the person, such as authority to handle day to day life decisions, or for both the estate and the person. Conservatorships are created by a court order.  To avoid a conservatorship, be sure to have a valid power of attorney in place designating your agent.
