Guardianship & Conservatorship

Guardianship & Conservatorship

Caring for a minor or an adult who has physical or mental incapacities is an incredibly demanding responsibility. Often times, this responsibility also includes a formal court-appointment as a guardian or conservator for the minor child or disabled adult.

Guardians are persons appointed by the court to make personal decisions for the well-being of individuals who are incapable of making responsible decisions about personal needs and caring for themselves. Conservators are appointed by the court to make financial decisions for legally incapacitated individuals.
