GUARDIANSHIP / CONSERVATORSHIP
Guardianship / Conservatorship Group
A guardian is appointed by the probate court to make medical and placement decisions for a minor (under 18 years) or adult incapacitated person (the 'protected person'). A conservator is appointed to handle the finances and pay the bills for someone who is financially incapable. If the person is in crisis and an emergency exists a temporary guardianship or conservatorship may be appropriate. The attorneys at Fitzwater Law have the experience and skill to assist you and your family with your guardianship and conservatorship needs.
