The Massachusetts Decree and Order of Appointment of Conservator is a legal document issued by a court that grants a conservator the authority to make decisions and manage the property of a person, known as the ward. The conservator is responsible for the ward's assets, finances, and other matters, and must act in the best interests of the ward. There are two types of conservatorship in Massachusetts: general conservatorship and limited conservatorship. A general conservator is appointed when the ward is unable to make decisions for themselves and needs someone to manage their property on their behalf. A general conservator is responsible for managing the ward's assets and finances, as well as making decisions about the ward's medical care and other matters. A limited conservator is appointed in cases where the ward is able to make some decisions for themselves, but still needs help managing their assets and finances. The limited conservator is responsible for managing the ward's assets and finances, but does not have the authority to make decisions about the ward's medical care or other matters. The Massachusetts Decree and Order of Appointment of Conservator is a legal document that sets out the terms of the conservatorship, including the type of conservatorship, the duties of the conservator, and the rights of the ward. It also outlines the court's supervision of the conservator and the ward's rights to petition the court for changes in the conservatorship.
