Caring for aging parents or other aging family members is essential when they reach a point where they lose their ability to maintain independence. In these cases, when aging loved ones lose the capacity to make decisions concerning their financial matters, medical care or other matters, someone needs to step in and manage their affairs. Through a conservatorship, a court appoints an individual to handle financial affairs and personal care decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person. A conservatorship can also help to prevent elder abuse.
As a compassionate team experienced in California elder law, we can help you seek a conservatorship in emergency situations or ahead of time before the person’s loss of capacity creates large problems to resolve.
