  • What is the difference between guardianship and conservatorship?

    Guardianship involves appointing someone to make personal and healthcare decisions for an individual who can no longer do so themselves, while conservatorship pertains to managing the financial affairs of that person. Both are legal mechanisms designed to protect those who are incapacitated.

  • Why is incapacity planning important?

    Incapacity planning ensures that your healthcare and financial decisions will be made according to your wishes if you become unable to make those decisions yourself. Without proper planning, your family may face legal challenges and uncertainty in managing your affairs.

  • How do I know if my loved one needs a guardian or conservator?

    If your loved one is unable to manage their personal or financial affairs due to age, illness, or disability, a guardianship or conservatorship might be necessary. Our team can assess the situation and guide you through the legal process to ensure your loved one is protected.

  • Can guardianship or conservatorship be contested?

    Yes, both guardianship and conservatorship can be contested, particularly if there are concerns about the suitability of the appointed individual or the necessity of the legal arrangement. At Jolley Law Group, we can help you navigate these disputes and advocate for your loved one's best interests.
