The Massachusetts Petition For Appointment of Conservator For Disabled Person is a legal document used to request the appointment of a conservator for a disabled person. This petition is commonly filed by an individual, family member, or legal representative for a person who has been deemed unable to manage their own affairs due to a developmental, mental, or physical disability. The court may appoint a conservator to manage the disabled person’s financial affairs and/or personal care. There are two types of conservator petitions in Massachusetts: the Petition for Appointment of Conservator of the Estate and the Petition for Appointment of Conservator of the Person. The Petition for Appointment of Conservator of the Estate is used to request the appointment of a conservator to manage the disabled person’s financial matters, including handling and managing their assets, filing taxes, and paying bills. The Petition for Appointment of Conservator of the Person is used to request the appointment of a conservator to manage the disabled person’s personal care, such as arranging for medical care, providing for basic needs, and ensuring their safety.
