Guardianship & Conservatorship
GUARDIANSHIP & CONSERVATORSHIP
Protect and Respect Your Loved One with the Right Court Orders
When a loved one can’t manage health or finances, delay increases risk—missed medications, unpaid bills, and vulnerability to exploitation. We begin with the least-restrictive options, like powers of attorney or limited appointments, and seek full guardianship or conservatorship only if truly necessary. In emergencies, we can pursue temporary orders to stop immediate harm while a full hearing is set.
GUARDIANSHIP & CONSERVATORSHIP
What Are Guardianship & Conservatorship?
Guardianship authorizes a trusted person to make medical and personal-care decisions. Conservatorship authorizes someone to manage money, property, and bills. We use the narrowest order that keeps your loved one safe—protecting dignity and independence while providing the authority needed to act.
Key features include:
We explore powers of attorney and limited orders before seeking full court control.
Temporary orders can stop immediate harm while the full case proceeds.
We set up compliant structures and handle required annual reports.
