Guardianship &
Conservatorship
Is a Guardian or Conservator necessary?
Guardians and conservators help manage personal and financial matters for those who can’t speak for themselves. The probate court oversees the process to ensure that the person in charge acts in the best interest of the person they are caring for.

Understanding Guardianship & Conservatorship
The Process
In order for the probate court to authorize a guardian and / or conservator to act on behalf of someone who is incapable of caring for themselves, there must be proof of incapacity. This may include letters from doctors, friends, family, financial advisors and other evidence showing that the person in question can no longer care for themselves and / or their finances.
If the court appoints a guardian and / or conservator, those agents must regularly report to the court and account for the welfare and expenditures of the ward or protectee's finances. This process can be time consuming and expensive.
There are ways to prevent probate court and the guardianship or conservatorship process if you or a loved one should become incapacitated in the future. Check out our page on Powers of Attorney for more information on how to possibly avoid this time consuming, stressful process.
