When an individual has reached a point in their life where they are incapable of managing their financial affairs or even overall well-being, either due to old age or physical or mental disabilities, the court may name another individual as the conservator.

It’s critical that conservators thoroughly understand their duties as there are an abundance of important responsibilities.  Our conservatorship attorneys at Bercik Law have experience helping conservators not only understand their role, but resolve any legal issues they encounter.
