Filing for Conservatorship
After filing for conservatorship, the court will appoint that conservator to protect the funds or assets of that minor. Funds for the minor’s education, healthcare, support and other needs will be allocated to the conservator. The person appointed conservator will be charged with inventorying of property and assets and will make financial decisions based on the best interests of the minor. That conservator will also submit an annual report of finances and a detailed account of the estate. A conservator may also create a revocable trust for the minor.
The court can appoint a family member or trusted family friend as conservator of a minor. If that minor is 14 or older, he or she can nominate someone for the job.
