| FAQ Frequently Asked Questions | How Does a Conservatorship Differ From a Guardianship? | A Conservatorship is a court proceeding to appoint an individual, or a corporation with trustee powers, to manage the financial affairs of a minor or other person who can no longer manage his or her own property or financial matters.
Generally, the Conservator does not make decisions regarding the personal care of the individual as a Guardian does. However, a Conservator may assume duties of a Guardian if appointed Conservator of the estate of an unmarried minor, where no one has parental rights, and no Guardian has been appointed.
The person for whom a Conservator is appointed is called a protected person.
A Conservator has control over the finances and property of an individual who has been determined unable to manage their own finances.
