Conservatorship Of A Mentally Handicapped Adult Son
What do we need to do to establish a family member conservatorship for our 45 yr old
son?
Re: Conservatorship Of A Mentally Handicapped Adult Son
In order to establish a Conservatorship for your adult son, you will need to petition the court. Does your son have a living trust? If so, I suggest amending the living trust to name yourself as trustee with all durable powers of attorney over all assets and his medical well-being. If not, I recommend setting up a trust as soon as possible. The trust option is must less expensive and time consuming than petitioning the court for a conservatorship. Please note that a conservatorship requires a physician's note and the court will appoint an attorney for your son to ensure proper compliance and accounting.
