A conservatorship is where a person cannot handle their own financial matters or take care of themselves physically so another person is appointed by the Court to handle these matters.
Reasons why you may need to seek a conservatorship
- To care for an elderly person
- To protect an elderly person from financial predators
- To care for and make financial decisions for an adult disabled child
- To make financial decisions for a person who is incapacitated
- To hold assets such as a personal injury settlement for an incapacitated person
Ms. Cochran approaches the conservatorship process with the goal of preserving the dignity and respect for the person who is incapacitated.
