Chicago, Illinois Conservatorship Answers in Cook County, IL From Our Office in Rolling Meadows

Guardianships and conservatorships are legal protections for individuals who can no longer manage their own affairs. They can be sought on behalf of people who are allegedly incompetent, addicted, or disabled, as well as minors in certain situations. Once a guardianship or conservatorship has been granted, a guardian controls and protects that person, or his or her assets.
There are a number of situations where a guardianship or conservatorship may be appropriate, including the examples below:

  • A guardianship may be appropriate when an elderly person has reached the point where they are unable to care for themselves. If this person has not already established a durable power of attorney or made other estate planning arrangements, a guardianship may be necessary to ensure the person receives proper care.

  • A conservatorship may be necessary for a child who has received an inheritance or compensation for an accident if the child’s parents are unable to properly manage the money.

  • A guardianship and conservatorship may be appropriate for a child with special needs when that child turns 18. These arrangements can ensure that a guardian or conservator can still make essential decisions regarding the child’s medical care and finances. 

In order for a guardianship to be granted, it is usually required to go to court and present certain evidence of incompetence. People seeking court-ordered guardianship must usually present documents such as a physician’s statement and certain medical records to support their case.
