Legal Support to Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves
When an adult is not able to manage their personal or financial affairs due to age, illness, or disability, establishing a conservatorship may be necessary. At Jeffrey Orr Law, we assist families and concerned individuals through the conservatorship process with compassion, skill, and a focus on protecting the dignity and best interests of the person in need.
Our goal is to guide you through each step, ensuring the process is handled properly and with the utmost care.
What is a Conservatorship?
A conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which the court appoints a responsible person or organization, known as a conservator, to care for another adult, known as a conservatee. Conservatorships are typically used when someone is mentally or physically unable to manage their personal or financial matters.
There are two main types of conservatorships:
- Conservatorship of the Person: Managing the conservatee’s daily needs, such as medical care, living arrangements, and personal decisions.
- Conservatorship of the Estate: Managing the conservatee’s finances, including paying bills, handling investments, and protecting assets.
In some cases, the court may establish both types of conservatorships to ensure full support for the individual.
