Helping Clients With Conservatorship Matters in Louisiana
If you have an adult dependent who is unable to care for him or herself due to physical disability or mental illness, one of the objectives in your estate planning will be to establish a legal conservatorship to care for that person in your absence. It is important to select someone for this duty who will assume the significant responsibilities of the position, which include maintaining a healthy relationship with the conservatee.
At the Law Office of Wendra J. Moran, I offer strong, caring counsel at a flat-fee rate in order to help you establish a conservatorship.
What are the Duties of a Conservator?
What will the duties of a conservator be? First, they will have the responsibility of managing the disabled individual's finances. This could include liquidizing assets and investing funds as well as paying taxes, mortgages, insurance, and other bills. The conservator will also need to decide where they will live and how they will be cared for. All of the living expenses such as healthcare, maintenance, education, food, and clothing, will also be their responsibility to handle.
