Who Can Petition For A Conservatorship Of An Individual?

A conservatorship is generally for adults age 18 and older. Judges can appoint an individual responsible for the person if he or she cannot care for him or herself. A judge can also decide that the management of the person’s assets and property should also be the responsibility of another person.

California law allows a spouse, other relatives, a nominee of the proposed conservator or any other person or entity eligible for appointment, to file a petition for conservatorship of another adult.

Experienced Help For Guardianships Of Children Or Estates

A Guardianship is for children who live with an adult other than a parent and that person needs to be able to make legal decisions on the child’s behalf.

The court can grant guardianship of a person as well as of an estate. For example, if a child has inherited money, the court could appoint a guardian to manage the inheritance until the child is 18.

The legal process to become a guardian can be complicated. It involves the filing of forms, notice to relatives and interviews with a court investigator. Our attorneys can help you through it as quickly as possible, depending on the circumstances.
