There are five types of conservatorship.
Conservatorship is a legal relationship in which a person, known as a conservator, is appointed by a court to manage the personal and/or financial affairs of another person, known as the conservatee, who is unable to do so for themselves. There are several different types of conservatorships, including:
- General conservatorship: A general conservatorship is appointed for individuals who are unable to care for themselves or manage their financial affairs due to a disability or mental incapacity.
- Limited conservatorship: A limited conservatorship is a less restrictive form of conservatorship that is designed for individuals with developmental disabilities who need assistance with some, but not all, aspects of their daily lives.
- Emergency conservatorship: An emergency conservatorship is a temporary form of conservatorship that can be granted by a court when there is an immediate need to protect an individual from harm.
- Probate conservatorship: A probate conservatorship is a type of conservatorship that is established for individuals who are unable to manage their financial affairs due to physical or mental incapacity and who have property that needs to be protected and managed.
- Developmental disability conservatorship: A developmental disability conservatorship is a type of conservatorship that is established for individuals with developmental disabilities who require assistance with daily living activities and decision-making.
Each type of conservatorship has specific requirements and restrictions, and the type of conservatorship that is appropriate for a given individual will depend on their specific needs and circumstances.
