I don’t think it would apply in our case. We would not be using professional conservators… It would be my husband or my sister in law. The “estate” isn’t big enough to warrant professional conservatorship. But we need to step in to make sure bills are paid.
That’s not to say there isn’t a huge racket associated with conservatorship/guardianship. Lawyers for the person wanting conservatorship, lawyers for the conservatee, legal experts to be hired on both sides to address competency… It can get expensive. That’s one of the reasons we haven’t pulled the trigger yet. But the situation is getting worse day by day… we’re going to have to do it sooner, rather than later. But it sucks to have to pony out big legal fees to do the right thing.
Amazing about that crooked judge in the article. What a scumbag.
