Find answers to commonly asked questions about guardianship and conservatorship arrangements.
Guardianship grants authority over personal care decisions, including medical care and living arrangements, while conservatorship involves managing financial matters and property.
Guardianship may be needed when an individual can no longer make sound decisions about their personal care due to physical or mental conditions that affect their capacity.
Guardians make decisions about living arrangements, medical care, education, and daily care needs. They must also file regular reports with the court about the protected person's condition.
The timeline varies depending on whether the case is contested. Uncontested matters can be resolved in a few months, while contested cases may take longer.
