While guardianship and conservatorship both refer to managing the care and lives of a person who is deemed unable to do so for themselves, there is a difference between the two responsibilities. A guardian is a person appointed by the court who is responsible for the personal affairs of a protected person. In some situations, a person can be granted limited or temporary guardianship.

A conservator, on the other hand, is a person appointed by the court who manages a protected person’s estate and financial affairs. A person may be granted limited or temporary conservatorship in some situations. Both guardianships and conservatorships require a tribunal to determine if a person is fit to care for a person who is deemed unable to care for themselves, and the only way to ensure the best outcome of those legal proceedings is to rely on an experienced, competent attorney.
