Conservatorships in Michigan
When an individual is unable to make decisions about financial matters independently, a conservator can be appointed to manage these affairs. A judge oversees the process of establishing a conservatorship. Specific requirements must be met in order to ensure compliance with the law and due process.
If you are interested in establishing a conservatorship to care for the needs of a minor child or an adult, you should talk to a probate attorney about these requirements and the legal process involved.

Guiding You Through the Entire Legal Process
When a conservatorship is established, one individual is given the authority to make financial decisions on behalf of another person who has been declared incapacitated by the court. A conservator may be appointed to manage real estate, investments, bank accounts and tangible property.
The process of establishing and maintaining a conservatorship can be complex and lengthy, so it is important to work with an experienced attorney. We can help identify the proper person to serve as conservator as well as ensure that the process is completed according to applicable laws and standards. The Royal Oak attorneys at our firm can explain your specific legal options and walk you through the process of setting up a conservatorship to care for a loved one. We can also discuss options for establishing a guardianship, financial power of attorney or medical power of attorney.
