The physical or mental limitations of another may give rise to the court appointment of a conservator, which is the title of a protector appointed to manage the financial affairs and/or daily life of another. A conservatorship may be needed because an individual with developmental disabilities has reached the age of adulthood, or because an adult is no longer able to handle his or her personal or financial affairs.
We represent people serving as conservators, petitioning for a conservator's appointment, objecting to a pending conservatorship, and even as court-appointed counsel for proposed conservatees in San Luis Obispo Superior Court. If you are faced with the trying situation of a conservatorship matter, inquire whether we might be your steadfast advocates through what can be a turbulent time.
