TOP SIGNS THAT A PERSON MIGHT NEED A CONSERVATORSHIP IN CALIFORNIA

Many people ask us about the signs of needing a conservatorship in California.   We generally ask our clients to tell us about what the disabled persons can do or can’t do for themselves.  In the old days, a conservatorship of an adult in California was called a Guardianship of an adult.   Now matters regarding disabled adults are categorized under Conservatorships. We first explore alternatives to conservatorships.

See how many of these fit the person you are concerned about and want to protect in a conservatorship.  A conservatorship attorney in Los Angeles wrote an article about additional signs that a person should be in a conservatorship which is written regarding elderly when there are no alternatives.
