Conservatorship Law covers the process families use to ask a court to name a decision maker for an adult who cannot manage money or medical choices. Here's why many families start this process: it creates clear authority for bills, housing, and care while adding a legal record that protects the person and the family. Let's break it down in plain terms so you know what to expect and how to move forward.

The process begins with a focused intake where we listen to your situation and goals. We collect medical statements, bank records, and witness declarations, then prepare court forms and notices. A hearing is scheduled at the county courthouse where a judge reviews evidence and may appoint a conservator. After appointment, ongoing reporting and accountings may be required; we prepare those filings and advise on when a change or limited authority is better than full conservatorship. Consider the case of an older adult with dementia who needs help with mortgage payments and medications: a conservatorship can set a clear plan for funds, paystubs, and caregiver directions.
