Conservatorship 101: Navigating the System for Older Adults and People with Spec
About the Program

This presentation will walk through how the conservatorship system works for older adults and individuals with special needs, covering the legal safeguards designed to protect vulnerable people alongside the practical challenges families face when capacity declines. Drawing on real-world scenarios, the presenter will explore alternatives to conservatorship and the unique issues that arise in elder law and special needs planning. Attorneys will leave with a clearer understanding of how to guide families through this process and what options are available before, during, and after a conservatorship is established.
