Conservatorship Reform

Conservatorship reform refers to changes in legal systems governing conservatorships, which are arrangements where a person is appointed to manage the financial and personal affairs of someone unable to do so themselves, often due to disability or mental incapacity. Recent reforms aim to protect individuals' rights, reduce abuse potential, and ensure more oversight and accountability in the process. This includes making it easier for those under conservatorship to challenge their status, promoting alternatives that allow more personal autonomy, and increasing transparency to prevent exploitation and misuse of power by conservators.
