Conservatorship and Guardianship A Fresh, Modern Approach to Law

Conservatorship and Guardianship in Centennial

Helping You Care for Your Loved One’s Needs

When an adult becomes incapacitated due to injury or illness and that person can longer make decisions for themselves, the Colorado probate court may appoint a guardian or conservator to make decisions on that person’s behalf. Guardianship and conservatorship can also be used for minors, or adults with special needs. At the Law Office of Alexandra White, PC in Centennial, our family law team can provide the assistance you need if you are seeking conservatorship or guardianship of a loved one. We mainly handle uncontested guardianships and conservatorships.

What is the Difference Between Guardianship and Conservatorship?

When appointing a conservator or guardian for an incapacitated individual or minor, the court generally has a preference for appointing a close family member for such a role. That said, there are some differences between these two roles.

Here are some of the responsibilities of a guardian:

A guardian is responsible for the individual’s personal care and well-being.
A guardian will make decisions pertaining to the individual’s living arrangements and medical treatment.
A guardian will determine the type of supervision and assistance the individual will receive.
A guardian can handle small amounts of money on the individual’s behalf, though the court may appoint a conservator if necessary.

Here are some of the responsibilities of a conservator:

A conservator is responsible for the individual’s financial affairs and property.
A conservator may pay for the person’s bills or even care for the person’s home.
A conservator must manage and invest assets appropriately for the individual’s benefit.
A conservator may participate in the operation of a business in which the individual has an ownership interest.

Generally, a conservator is only appointed if the person in question has a certain amount of assets (as determined by state law). Additionally, if a conservator is appointed, it does not automatically void the incapacitated person’s financial power of attorney. Usually the guardianship and conservatorship roles are filled by the same person, but they don’t have to be.

"I always felt very cared for"
Megan is an excellent attorney! I highly suggest you hire her for your case. She is assertive, yet very professional. I always felt very cared for knowing that I was in her hands. Throughout my year long legal battle, and all the difficulties from the “other” side, I still felt confident, and had peace knowing that Megan, and her paralegal Christian were working in the background getting me everything that I deserved and than some. You usually don’t plan on needing an attorney in life, I certainly didn’t think I ever would. I closed my eyes and picked one from all the hundreds advertised online. I am writing this to say that your search can be over. Megan, and Christian are all you will need. I am very pleased with how my case turned out, and I know that if I had chosen another attorney, the end result would have been much different then it was. I have zero regrets!!!

Having used other Attorneys in the past, the professionalism was FAR greater with Alex and her Team. The amount of communication, preperation and clairity provided every step of the way reassured me that they had my case handeled. On top of all that, we won walking out with confidence and pride!
