Court-appointed overseer

A court-appointed overseer, often known as a guardian or conservator, is an individual or organization designated by a court to manage the affairs of someone who is unable to do so themselves, often due to age, disability, or legal incapacity. This overseer is responsible for making decisions about the person's finances, health care, and daily living needs, prioritizing the individual's best interests. The court oversees their actions to ensure accountability and compliance with legal standards, maintaining protection for those who cannot adequately advocate for themselves.
