Guardianship
Guardianship refers to the court-ordered responsibility given to a person to care for the mental and physical well-being of an individual who is unable to do so for themselves. Once appointed, a guardian has authority to make medical decisions on behalf of the individual, and are trusted to make these decision in the best-interest of the protected person. The attorneys at Pacific Cascade Legal will guide you through this legal process and help you obtain the results you seek.
Conservatorship
Conservatorship refers to the court-ordered responsibility given to a person to make financial and legal decisions on behalf of an individual who is unable to do so for themselves due to physical or mental impairments. Responsibilities of conservator range from taking inventory of assets, making legal decisions and working with attorneys to handle the protected person’s affairs, paying bills and taxes, and depositing checks. Conservatorship can be grated on temporary, permanent or limited basis, and requires the assigned individual to report detailed inventory and accounts to the courts to ensure that the protected person’s assets are being handled ethically and in their best interest.
