Conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints a person or organization to manage the financial affairs and/or personal care of another individual who is deemed unable to do so themselves. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as mental illness, physical disability, or old age.
Applying for conservatorship can be a complex and time-consuming process, but it can be essential for protecting the interests of a vulnerable person. The specific requirements for applying for conservatorship vary from state to state, but there are some general steps that are common to most jurisdictions.
