Guardianship is a legal process that appoints a guardian to make personal care decisions for a minor or incapacitated adult. The guardian is responsible for day-to-day welfare, safety, and living arrangements, under court supervision.
Conservatorship is a legal process to manage financial affairs and assets when someone cannot do so. The conservator handles bills, investments, and property under court oversight.
Guardianship can last for as long as the court determines, often until the ward reaches adulthood or is no longer incapacitated. The court may terminate or modify guardianship if circumstances change.
Costs vary by case and court, including filing fees and attorney fees. We discuss estimates upfront and provide a clear plan for fees and payments.
