Guardianship and Conservatorship

Guardianship: This is typically related to an individual’s personal needs. It involves making decisions about healthcare, living arrangements, and general well-being for someone who is unable to care for themselves due to physical or mental disability.

Conservatorship: This pertains more to managing an individual’s financial affairs. It involves overseeing assets, income, and making financial decisions for someone who is unable to do so themselves due to incapacity.

Both are established through the Probate Court, and while guardianship focuses on the person’s daily care and safety, conservatorship centers around protecting and managing the person’s finances.
