CONSERVATORSHIP LITIGATION
When an individual becomes
incapacitated and can no longer manage his or her
financial affairs, family members or other concerned
individuals can ask the court to protect the
incapacitated individual and appoint a conservator.
Whether the conservator is an individual or
professional, the conservator has many important
responsibilities and obligations. We are
familiar with Conservatorship litigation,
conservatorship law and litigation trial techniques.
There are many reasons conservators and
conservatorships end up in litigation, but one of
the main reasons is because Conservators abuse their
power through careless or reckless handling of the
conservatee's assets.
Also any concerned person may object to the
conservatorship in general, or to the specific
choice of a conservator. We represent clients
in a variety of conservator actions, including, but
not limited to:
Contesting the validity of the conservatorship;
Contesting the appointment of a particular
conservator;
Representation of conservators;
Accounting of conservatorship finances;
Breach of a fiduciary duty; and Conservatorship
mismanagement.
