A conservatorship is created by the appointment of a conservator, also sometimes called a guardian. A conservator is a person appointed by a court to manage the property, daily affairs, and financial affairs of another person (sometimes called the ward), who is unable by reason of a physical or mental infirmity or age to handle his/her affairs. For example, an adult daughter may be appointed as the conservator for her father who is suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease. An open hearing is held before the appointment is made.

Description: In Minnesota, an objection to the appointment of a petitioner as conservator of the estate of an adult is a legal process intended to challenge or dispute the proposed appointment of an individual as the conservator of an adult's estate. This objection can be raised by interested parties who have concerns regarding the suitability or qualifications of the petitioner, or if they believe that the appointment may not be in the best interest of the adult in question. There are different types of objections that can be raised in Minnesota when it comes to the appointment of a petitioner as conservator of the estate of an adult. These objections may include: 1. Lack of Capacity: This objection argues that the petitioner lacks the necessary mental or legal capacity to responsibly manage or handle the affairs of the adult's estate. It questions whether the petitioner possesses the required knowledge, experience, and decision-making abilities to fulfill the duties of a conservator effectively. 2. Conflict of Interest: In some cases, interested parties may raise an objection based on a perceived or actual conflict of interest between the petitioner and the adult for whom they seek to be appointed as conservator. This objection emphasizes concerns about the petitioner's ability to act impartially and make decisions solely in the best interest of the adult. 3. Unsuitability: This objection asserts that the petitioner is not the most suitable choice for the role of conservator, highlighting factors such as financial instability, past history of mismanagement, or lack of experience in handling complex financial matters. The objection aims to demonstrate that there are better alternatives available for the appointment. 4. Relationship Strain: This objection focuses on strained relationships between the petitioner and the adult, arguing that appointing the petitioner as conservator could further strain the existing dynamics and potentially harm the adult's well-being or financial interests. It may provide evidence of conflicts or relevant incidents that support this claim. It is essential to note that in Minnesota, the objection process must follow specific legal procedures and timelines. Interested parties must file formal objections with the appropriate court and provide supporting evidence to substantiate their claims. Ultimately, the court will review the objections, consider the best interest of the adult, and make a final decision regarding the appointment of a conservator for the estate.
