Troy Guardians & Conservators Attorney

Navigate Oakland County Caretaker Laws with BRMM

When a loved one can no longer take complete care of themselves, it can be necessary for a guardian or conservator to look after their personal care and financial affairs. Guardians protect people, while conservators manage money and property. In most cases, these two will be appointed in the same proceeding, often with one person serving in both capacities. The team at Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras helps clients to navigate these particular estate matters.

Understanding Conservatorship and Its Importance

Conservatorship is a legal concept that involves the appointment of a guardian or protector to manage the financial affairs and/or daily life of another person due to physical or mental limitations. It is an important tool for ensuring the well-being and protection of individuals who are unable to make decisions for themselves.
