What Is a Conservatorship?
A conservatorship (also known as a probate conservatorship) is used for an individual who can no longer provide for his or her own finances, property or personal needs. In order to have a conservatorship, an individual needs to file a petition. A number of people may take this action, including the conservatee, by the spouse or partner of the conservatee, the state, an interested friend of the conservatee.
What Is Required in the Petition?
The petition for conservatorship must include a number of things:
- The proposed conservatee's inability to provide for his or her needs
- The proposed location of proposed conservatee's residence
- Why alternatives to conservatorship are unavailable
- Social services or health services provided for the proposed conservatee
- Inability of the proposed conservatee to manage his or her financial assets
