TRUSTS

PROBATE

GUARDIANSHIP/CONSERVATORSHIP
Both a guardian and conservator are a court appointed individual or entity that assist the minor or adult with their health and financial affairs when they are unable to do so themselves. A guardian, when appointed by the Court can legally make medical choices and care decisions for a minor child, incapacitated adult, or developmentally disabled person. A conservatorship may be needed if the child or incapacitated adult needs assistance with the management of their assets, property, business affairs, or debts.
