A conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints an individual or organization to manage the financial and personal affairs of someone deemed unable to do so due to incapacity, mental health issues, or other challenges. The conservator is responsible for making decisions in the best interest of the conservatee, who may be elderly, disabled, or otherwise vulnerable. This arrangement can vary in scope, covering aspects like financial management, healthcare decisions, and daily living needs. Conservatorships are intended to protect individuals who cannot fully care for themselves.
