What is Conservatorship?

 

Conservatorship is like having someone you trust to manage your financial affairs and assets if you're unable to do so yourself. It's a legal arrangement designed to protect your finances and ensure they're managed responsibly.

 

Why Might Someone Need Conservatorship?

 

Financial Management: If you're unable to manage your finances due to aging, illness, or disability, conservatorship ensures your assets are protected and managed properly.

 

Asset Protection: Conservatorship can be used to safeguard assets, such as property, investments, and bank accounts, from financial exploitation or mismanagement.

 

Legal Protection: It provides legal protection and oversight to ensure your financial affairs are handled in your best interest, especially during times of vulnerability.

This helps ensure transparency and accountability.Communication and Collaboration: We'll facilitate open communication between you and your conservator, ensuring everyone understands their roles and responsibilities.
