Guardianship and Conservatorship 

Recent celebrity cases have brought conservatorship into the vernacular. But when it’s your loved one that needs someone to handle the important decisions in their lives, it stops becoming a blip in popular culture. It’s your loved one’s life – and it’s a tough decision to make. In a conservatorship, a court can appoint someone the authority to make financial decisions for a minor, incapacitated person, or someone with an intellectual disability. That person – called the conservator – then can manage all their loved one’s financial affairs, including paying debts and bills, managing bank accounts and investments, and handling cash expenditures. If your loved one is in a situation that might improve under a conservatorship arrangement, you need an experienced estate attorney to make your case. Candace Kim-Knox, Attorney At Law has that experience. With careful research and in partnership with medical and other professionals, we’ve successfully pursued conservatorships for our clients.
