What Is the Difference Between a Conservator and a Guardian?
A guardian is similar to a conservator, but it is a different legal relationship. A guardian is appointed for a minor, while a conservator is appointed for an adult. A guardian is appointed for a limited time, while a conservator can be appointed for an indefinite time.
A guardian is appointed for a minor when there is no suitable parent available to care for the child. A guardian is appointed for a limited time, and the guardian's duties will end when the minor turns 18 years old. A conservator is appointed for an adult when that adult is unable to make their own decisions. This can be because of a mental or physical disability that is expected to last for more than a year. The conservator's duties will continue until the conservatee is able to make their own decisions again, or the conservatee passes away.
How Does a Conservator Make Decisions?
A conservator is appointed to manage the financial and personal decisions for a person who is unable to make their own. A conservator can be appointed for a minor or an adult, and the conservator will make decisions about financial, medical, and personal decisions. The conservator will manage the finances and personal decisions for the conservatee. The conservator will report to the court to make sure that the conservatee is being cared for properly.
