| Alan R. Horvath, Attorney at Law |
| Conservatorship Procedure |
A conservatorship proceeding is a full blown adversarial legal contest. The proposed conservatee is entitled to their
own legal counsel and entitled to court provided counsel if they are unable to provide for their own. The conservatee
is also entitled to a jury trial if they so chose.
Notice must be provided of the proceeding to all relatives within the second degree. This includes children,
grandchildren, siblings, children of siblings, parents, and siblings of parents.
The person proposing the conservatorship has the burden of proving that the standards necessary have been met,
and the proof can not consist of isolated incidents.
The court is required to make their own independent investigation of any proposed conservatee, including a review of
the persons living situation, and their understanding of and position on the pending proceeding.
