Minnesota Conservatorship Attorney
When an adult becomes substantially unable to provide for his or her own personal needs or manage his or her own financial resources, a conservatorship can be established. A conservator may be appointed by the court to make important decisions for the incapacitated individual—called a ward.
A conservator can be a relative or friend of the ward, or a private person or county agency that serves as a public conservator. Depending on the type of conservatorship, a conservator can be authorized to:
- Arrange for the ward’s care and protection
- Decide where the ward will live
- Arrange for the ward’s health care, meals, or transportation
- Manage the ward’s finances
- Pay the ward’s bills
- Collect income due to the ward
- Invest the ward’s money
