Guardianship

Guardianship vs Conservatorship - Which is Needed?

Guardianship and Conservatorship are two types of probate cases designed to help someone who is a minor or who is incapacitated or disabled. Guardianship concerns the actual person, meaning that a court-appointed guardian has authority over the physical care, medical care, and daily living of the person. Conservatorship concerns the property of the person, meaning that a court-appointed conservator has charge over the person’s money and other property.
