What Is a Conservator?

A conservator is a person appointed by the court to manage the financial and personal affairs of someone who is no longer able to do so themselves. The conservator is responsible for ensuring that the person receives the care they need while protecting their assets. A conservator is not the same as a guardian, who is responsible for the person's health and welfare, but not their financial affairs.

When Does a Conservator Need to Be Appointed?

A conservator may be appointed when an elderly person is no longer able to make decisions for themselves. The need for a conservator increases with age.

When a conservator is needed:

  • When the elderly person is no longer able to make decisions for themselves: The elderly may need a conservator if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves, such as when they have dementia or other cognitive impairments. They may also need a conservator if they are no longer able to handle their finances, such as when they have Alzheimer's disease or another mental decline that affects their ability to manage their money.
  • When they are the victim of financial exploitation: Elderly people are often the victims of financial exploitation by others who take advantage of their vulnerability. A conservator can help ensure that the person receives the care they need while protecting their assets from exploitation.
  • When the elderly person is living alone: When elderly people live alone, they may need a conservator to ensure that they receive the care they need and their homes are maintained. Elderly people who live alone are vulnerable to accidents, fires, and other emergencies, and a conservator can help ensure that they receive the care they need.
  • When they are unable to pay their bills: Elderly people are often unable to pay their bills when they need a conservator. A conservator can help ensure that the person receives the care they need while protecting their assets from creditors.
