The Alaska Petition for Appointment of a Conservator for an Adult is a legal document used to appoint a conservator for an adult in the state of Alaska. A conservator is a person appointed by the court to manage the financial and/or personal affairs of an adult who is unable to do so due to incapacity. The conservator is responsible for making decisions about the person’s care and well-being, including financial matters. The Petition must be filed with the court and include information about the proposed conservator, the proposed conservative, and the need for a conservator. The court will consider the evidence and testimony presented before making a decision about whether to grant the Petition. There are two types of Alaska Petition for Appointment of a Conservator for an Adult: an Emergency Petition and a Regular Petition. An Emergency Petition is used when the proposed conservative is in imminent danger and a conservator needs to be appointed immediately. A Regular Petition is used when a conservator is needed, but the situation is not urgent. Both types of Petition require the same information and follow the same process.
