Mississippi Conservators Oath

An emergency conservatorship takes 5 court days notice. In other words, you can file a petition for the conservatorship, mail copies of the documents to all legally required persons, and and the court will set a hearing on the matter within 5 days.

Upon petition by the individual or one or more of his friends or relatives, a court can appoint a conservator if a person is incapable of managing his own estate by reason of advanced age, physical incapacity or mental weakness2026 MS Code § 93-13-251.

A Conservator likewise can sign documents and can approve actions within the scope of their court granted powers, or pursuant to a Court Order authorizing a particular transaction. Only a Conservator of the Estate of an incapacitated person can sign a will on behalf of the conserved person.

When signing documents, the conservator should use their title after their name to show that they are the conservator. Example: Mary Jones, as conservator for Bob Jones.

A conservatorship is a court case where a judge appoints a responsible person or organization (called the conservator) to care for another adult (called the conservatee) who cannot care for himself or herself or manage his or her own finances.

The endorsement of the check should reflect the mother's name as parent and natural guardian of the child - and should say "Jane Doe, parent and natual guardian of John Doe", and then she should endorse it again, "Jane Doe"(good idea to include the account number too) underneath where she signed is as parent.

The conservator has the power to collect all the conservatee's assets, pay bills, make investments, etc. The conservator must seek court supervision for major transactions, such as purchase or sale of property, borrowing money, or gifting of assets.

Attend the hearing with counsel; If the Petition to Terminate the Conservatorship is not opposed or objected to, the court mostly likely will grant the Petition and end the conservatorship, as long as you have demonstrated that the conservatee can handle their own affairs.
