About Conservatorship

Conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which one person (called the conservator) is appointed by a court to manage the financial affairs and/or daily life of another person (called the conservatee) who is unable to do so for themselves.

The conservatee is typically an elderly person or someone with a disability. The conservator is responsible for making decisions on behalf of the conservatee. This can include managing finances, paying bills, making healthcare decisions, and ensuring the conservatee has proper housing and care. The court oversees the conservator's actions to make sure they are acting in the best interests of the conservatee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about conservatorship in California

Conservatorship is for adults who cannot care for themselves, while guardianship is for minors. Both provide legal authority to make decisions on behalf of another person, but conservatorship applies when the person is 18 or older and incapacitated due to age, illness, or disability.
The process typically takes 60-90 days from filing to court approval. We file the petition within days of your consultation, and the court hearing is usually scheduled within 30-60 days. Emergency conservatorships can be established more quickly when there's immediate danger.
Costs include court filing fees, investigation fees, attorney fees, and potentially bond costs. The exact amount varies based on the complexity of your case. Many families are surprised to learn that conservatorship fees are often paid from the conservatee's estate, and we can discuss payment options during your free consultation.
As a conservator, you're responsible for managing the conservatee's finances, ensuring their medical care, arranging for housing, and protecting their assets. You must file annual accountings with the court and always act in the conservatee's best interests. We provide ongoing support to help you fulfill these duties properly.
Yes, family members or the conservatee can contest the conservatorship during the court process. Once established, a conservatorship can be terminated if the conservatee regains capacity or passes away. The court oversees all conservatorships to ensure they remain necessary and in the conservatee's best interests.
