How does a Conservatorship work?


We just listed 12094 Summit Circle and our phone hasn't stopped ringing! It's a beautiful home at an amazing price. I recently blogged about Conservatorships but we've had so many questions about it, that it merits me talking about it again.

A Conservatorship is a legal process in which the court appoints a person to make financial decisions for another person who is determined to be financially incapable to make those decisions. A conservatorship proceeding is a different legal proceeding than guardianship; it may be done independent from or jointly with a guardianship proceeding.

More briefly, conservatorship is the legal right given to a person to manage the property and financial affairs of a person deemed incapable of doing that for himself or herself.

Sometimes real property in a conservatorship must be sold and the terms of the sale are like those of a probate sale. All properties in a conservatorship require court confirmation.
