A Guardianship and Conservatorship is a provision in our state laws allowing you to provide for loved ones who have lost their ability to care for themselves physically (Guardianship) and financially (Conservatorship). Sometimes these are contested matters than can be expensive and cause hard feelings among family members.
Be aware that anyone at any time can apply through a legal proceeding for a Guardianship and Conservatorship over an incapacitated person. Preparing a simple Power of Attorney and Power of Attorney for Health Care will allow you to care for loved ones without involving the court system.
