The Basics Of Contested Conservatorships
Contested conservatorships arise when there is a disagreement over the appointment or actions of a conservator. A conservator is someone who has the court’s permission to manage the affairs of a person, adult, or child, who cannot do so on their own. The extent of the management can include anything ranging from personal care to finance management.
Acting as a conservator for a child may end when they reach adulthood, but being a conservator for an incapacitated adult is usually for life. Disputes involving these conservatorships can arise over who is appointed as a conservator, what the extent of their powers are, and how they are managing the conservatee’s needs.
