WHAT IS
Limited conservatorships are legal arrangements established to protect and manage the affairs of individuals who are developmentally disabled. These conservatorships provide a framework for safeguarding the rights and interests of individuals with developmental disabilities while ensuring they receive the necessary care and support.
KEY ASPECTS
- Appointment of a conservator: A court appoints a conservator, who is typically a trusted family member, friend, or professional, to manage the conservatee’s affairs.
- Scope of powers: The conservator’s powers are limited to specific areas, such as managing finances, making medical decisions, or overseeing living arrangements.
- Prioritization of the conservatee’s best interests: The conservator must always act in the best interests of the developmentally disabled individual.
- Regular court reviews: The conservatorship is subject to regular reviews by the court to ensure that it continues to be necessary and is being managed appropriately.
