About Conservatorship Law: A conservatorship is the right given to a person for the purpose of managing the property and finances of a person who is unable or incapacitated to carry out those operations for him or herself. This process, also known as adult guardianship, is a legal process by which someone is appointed by a court to be the person primarily responsible for making financial and medical decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person. The appointed person (conservator) takes care of the needs of the incapacitated person (conservatee). Conservatorships are usually set up for people who suffer major medical ailments, are in comas, or have other serious injuries and illnesses. Appointed conservators are responsible for managing finances, protecting the conservatee’s assets, making an inventory of conservatee’s assets, ensuring flow of benefits and income, filling tax returns and other accounts.
