If you have a family member who is losing their ability to take care of themselves, who is unable to make important decisions concerning their health or safety, or who is unable to responsibly manage their property or financial affairs, a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. Guardianship is obtained through the court to manage someone's health and safety. Conservatorship, also a court process, allows for the management of someone's finances. A court hearing is required in almost all cases, the requirements of the court can be confusing, and the entire process can be very emotional and frustrating for all involved.
