Conservatorships

Conservatorships are legal instruments designed to provide care for minor children, elderly family members and disabled children or adults that cannot manage their own finances. These legal instruments provide a designated family member or trustee the authority to make financial and non-financial decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person or persons. Conservatorships are complicated legal instruments that have several individual aspects to consider and plan for.

Conservatorships for Minor Children
A common situation where a child might need a conservator is when the minor child is receiving payments from an annuity or the child has received money from an inheritance. In cases such as these, a conservator is put in place as a legal authority to ensure that these funds are used and accounted for in the proper manor. Conservatorships are generally needed in cases where monies exceed $10,000.

Conservatorships for Adults
Anyone over the age of 18 is considered an adult. If a loved one has a physical or mental disability making it implausible for he or she to properly manage their financial resources or make reasonable economic decisions, a conservator could be legally appointed by the court to manage these financial affairs.

In most cases, conservatorships are complex and require the help of a family law attorney experienced in conservatorships. If you or a loved one are seeking a conservatorship for a minor or adult family member, call McDowell Chartered to discuss you options and the legal process.
