Conservatorship & Guardianship
|
Conservatorship and/or Guardianship are sought in probate court when an individual is unable to make financial or health care decisions because of incapacity or because of his or her status as a minor. In those situations, the individual may require the protection of a court-appointed conservator and/or guardian.
Eastman Estate Planning, PLLC is experienced in seeking and obtaining the appointment of a conservator and/or guardian when this is appropriate, as well as representing the conservator and/or guardian throughout the process. |
When should you seek a conservatorship?
A conservatorship is necessary for those individuals who have neither a power of attorney or healthcare directive, and have lost the ability to make informed decisions and/or care for themselves. A conservatorship may also be necessary for other reasons, such as an invalid or fraudulent power of attorney document.
