Scottsdale Conservatorship Attorneys

Arizona Guardianship Lawyers

The court appoints a conservator to manage and make decisions regarding another person's property and financial affairs. Responsibilities may include the following:

• Opening a bank account for the protected person that will allow the conservator to pay their bills and settle debts
• Supervising and maintaining the protected person's assets
• Applying for medical, employment, and government benefits for the protected person.

For individuals who need the help of a guardian and a conservator, a court may decide to appoint two different people to fill each role or just one person to fulfill both sets of responsibilities. Although the courts tend to consider spouses, adult children, brothers or sisters, and other blood relatives first when deciding whom to appoint as a guardian, any adult without any conflict of interest may apply to become someone's guardian or conservator. Ultimately, it will be up to the court to make the final decision.
