What We Do

How can a conservatorship litigation attorney help?

Conservatorship litigation is a process by which the actions of a conservator are reviewed by the court to ensure that they are in the best interests of the conservatee. It can be initiated by either the conservator or the conservatee when there is a disagreement about the conservatee’s best interests.

A litigation attorney can help you navigate the complex legal process of contesting a conservatorship. They can also help you understand your rights and options and represent you in court if necessary. If you need to contest a conservatorship, our dedicated attorneys will review your case and help you determine the best course of action.

Contesting a Conservatorship

The conservatorship process is designed to protect individuals who cannot care for themselves due to physical or mental incapacity. However, there are times when the conservatorship itself needs to be contested because it is not in the conservatee’s best interests. To contest a conservatorship, you must file a petition with the court. The court will then review the petition and decide whether or not to hold a hearing.

If a hearing is held, both parties will have an opportunity to present evidence and argue their case. After the hearing, the court will decide whether or not to modify or terminate the conservatorship. If you’re considering contesting a conservatorship, contact our attorneys today. The process is complex and time-sensitive, and you will need an experienced attorney to guide you through the process.

Terminating a Conservatorship

There are several reasons why a conservatorship may need to be terminated with the most common being that the conservatee has recovered from the condition that led to the conservatorship in the first place. Other causes for termination include misuse of power by the conservator or a change in circumstances that makes the conservatorship unnecessary moving forward. Regardless, having a skilled attorney on your side can help streamline the case and prevent potential delays.

Filing a Protection Order

Victims of conservatorship abuse or their loved ones may be able to file a protection order against the conservator. A protection order is a court order that requires the conservator to stay a certain distance away from the conservatee and refrain from certain activities, such as communicating with them or coming within a certain distance. A protection order can provide much-needed relief for victims of conservatorship abuse.
