Who can be Appointed as Conservator?The court can appoint a family member, a friend, the Public Guardian or a private party/agency.
The Public GuardianThe Public Guardian has been named by the Court as conservator for more than 2,500 persons who are physically or mentally disabled. These individuals cannot care for themselves without help. When such a person is brought to the attention of the Public Guardian, an investigation is made to determine whether friends or family are able and willing to act in the disabled person's best interests. If not, the Public Guardian petitions the Court to be named conservator, and the disabled person becomes the conservatee.
