Guardianship and conservatorship are court-supervised options to safeguard a person’s welfare and finances when they can’t make decisions on their own.
The process typically involves filing petitions, providing notice, court hearings, and ongoing oversight to protect the ward and ensure proper management.
A guardianship grants a designated person authority to make personal and medical decisions for an incapacitated individual, while a conservatorship authorizes management of the person’s finances and property.
Key steps include filing the petition, notifying interested parties, documenting incapacity or need for protection, and obtaining court approval for ongoing guardianship or conservatorship responsibilities.
