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.

Puerto Rico Objection to Appointment of Petitioner as Conservator of the Estate of an Adult is a legal proceeding in Puerto Rico where individuals can challenge the appointment of a specific person as conservator for an adult's estate. This objection is filed when there are concerns or disputes regarding the suitability, competence, or potential conflicts of interest of the proposed conservator. In Puerto Rico, there may be various types of objections to the appointment of a petitioner as conservator of an adult's estate. These objections can include, but are not limited to: 1. Lack of Qualifications: This objection asserts that the petitioner does not possess the necessary qualifications, skills, or understanding of the adult's needs to effectively manage their estate. The objector may argue that the petitioner lacks financial expertise or has a history of mismanaging funds. 2. Conflict of Interest: This objection alleges that the petitioner has a conflict of interest that could hinder their ability to act solely in the best interests of the adult. The objector may argue that the petitioner has a direct financial interest in the estate or has a strained relationship with the adult, potentially leading to biased decision-making. 3. Suspected Fraud or Misconduct: This objection claims that the petitioner has engaged in fraudulent or unethical behavior in their role as a conservator, or there is a reasonable suspicion of such misconduct. The objector may present evidence of financial discrepancies, unauthorized use of funds, or neglect of the adult's needs. 4. Inadequate Communication or Collaboration: This objection contends that the petitioner has demonstrated a lack of open communication or collaboration with the adult and other involved parties. The objector may argue that the petitioner has neglected to involve the adult in decision-making or failed to consult with other family members or caregivers. 5. Alternatives to Conservatorship: This objection proposes alternative arrangements to conservatorship, such as the appointment of a different individual or the implementation of supported decision-making, where the adult is provided with assistance in managing their affairs without the need for a conservator. When filing a Puerto Rico Objection to Appointment of Petitioner as Conservator of the Estate of an Adult, it is essential to provide detailed evidence supporting the objection and articulate the reasons why the proposed conservator is unsuitable, unfit, or poses a potential risk to the best interests of the adult.
