conservatorship law

Conservatorship law involves a court-ordered arrangement where a designated individual (the conservator) is authorized to manage the personal or financial affairs of an incapacitated person (the conservatee). This legal process aims to protect individuals who cannot make decisions for themselves due to mental or physical limitations. The court oversees the conservatorship to ensure the conservator acts in the best interest of the conservatee, with responsibilities varying between managing finances, healthcare, or both. This system provides a legal framework to safeguard vulnerable individuals, balancing autonomy with necessary protections.
