Conservatorships
A conservatorship is a probate court proceeding for the care of the person and/or property of someone who is unable to care for themselves. In such a proceeding, a proposed "conservator" seeks court authorization to care for a proposed "conservatee".
If someone close to you is unable to care for him/herself or their property, we can help you establish a conservatorship to ensure that the individual is cared for and his or her property is handled competently.
We have substantial experience in contested conservatorship matters. Conservatorships can be contentious and traumatic proceedings, where an elder person and those close to him or her may disagree strongly about the proper way of caring for that person and their finances. Such proceedings can often amount to what have been called "pre-death will contests", where someone close to the elder person tries to determine control of their property and the disposition of their estate.
Litigation over conservatorships can involve disputes over various issues, including:
• a proposed conservatee’s capacity to manage his or her own affairs;
• financial or other abuse of the proposed conservatee;
• selection of the proper conservator;
• changes to the trust or will of the conservatee;
• accounting by a conservator;
• breach of a fiduciary duty;
• misappropriation of conservatorship property; and
• mismanagement of conservatorship property
