Guardianship/

Conservatorship

Sometimes adults are unable to make or communicate personal, legal and/or financial decisions to manage themselves, their property, assets or debt. In this situation, the Court may determine that they may benefit from a guardianship or conservatorship to enable others to assist them in these areas.

​

A child’s parents are the natural guardians of a child. However, if the child’s parents have died, parental rights have been terminated or the parents are not fit or able to care for the child, the court may appoint a guardian for the child. The court will ultimately make a decision based on what is in the child’s best interests.
