Conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints an individual or organization, known as a conservator, to manage the financial and personal affairs of another person, typically due to incapacity or inability to make decisions. This arrangement is often used for individuals with disabilities, mental health issues, or advanced age. The conservator is responsible for making decisions that are in the best interest of the conservatee, who may have limited or no ability to manage their own affairs. The process is designed to protect vulnerable individuals while ensuring their rights and needs are considered.
