What is a Conservatorship?

Limited Conservatorships are designed for adults with developmental disabilities who need support in specific areas of life while maintaining as much independence as possible. We guide families through this process with respect and clarity so a trusted supporter can help make important decisions while preserving dignity and autonomy.  

A General Conservatorship provides comprehensive legal authority for someone who can no longer care for their basic needs or manage their finances. Working with families and the court, we help ensure the conservatee’s health, safety, and financial security are protected when less restrictive supports aren’t enough. 

An LPS Conservatorship helps protect adults whose severe mental health conditions leave them unable to provide for their basic needs and who are at risk without treatment and supervision. In these complex situations, we point families toward the resources offered by the Public Guardian.
