Conservators have court-ordered authority and responsibility to manage the affairs of those who can no longer make their own decisions about finances or health care.
How is a guardianship or conservatorship set up? Someone interested in the individual's welfare must file a petition in Superior Court, Probate Division, requesting appointment of a guardian or conservator. Once the petition is reviewed by the Probate Division and accepted for filing, a hearing is scheduled.
A conservatorship is necessary for those individuals who have neither a power of attorney or healthcare directive, and have lost the ability to make informed decisions and/or care for themselves. A conservatorship may also be necessary for other reasons, such as an invalid or fraudulent power of attorney document.
The document called a nomination of conservatorship allows an individual (also known as the principal or conservatee) to dictate who they want to look after them and their assets if they become incapacitated.
A conservatorship may be established after a relative, friend, or public official petitions the court for appointment of a conservator. The petition must contain information on why the individual cannot manage his or her financial affairs or make appropriate decisions concerning his or her personal care.
