Focusing on What type of Conservatorship is Needed
With a Limited Conservatorship, many of the rights of the person are kept. However, when a general conservatorship, sometimes called a permanent conservatorship is put in place, in order for the court to protect the disabled person, the court can take away the powers of the proposed conservatee, to essentially protect him from himself. These can mean that the conservatee (the conserved person) can lose the ability to write checks, pay bills, and make other financial decisions. In that same proceeding, the Conservator (supervisor) is given the rights to pay bills, write checks, make investments, and other Conservator duties and powers.
What documents do I need to manage the financial affairs of my aging parent, and how does a conservatorship work?
If your parent did not put a plan in place to manage his or her estate, or sign a valid durable power of attorney when he or she was well, then you go the route of a conservatorship.
In a California Conservatorship, we obtain a court order and letters from the court for our client that names the client as the conservator or decision maker. When your conservatorship lawyer tells you that you are appointed as the conservator, you will be given court papers and documents called Letters of Conservatorship. This is a court form and document which gives the conservator the right and duty to act for someone else. With Letters of Conservatorship, you as a conservator of the estate, can pay bills and collect the income and assets of the disabled loved one.
