Quick Tip: Conservatorship/Guardianship If your care recipient has not completed a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Finances and suffers from a cognitive impairment (such as a dementia), you may need to pursue conservatorship and/or guardianship, depending on your state, in order for your care recipient’s finances to be managed. The process involves court proceedings to declare your care recipient incompetent. Once your care recipient is declared incompetent to manage his or her affairs, the court appoints a guardian and/or conservator, monitored by the court, to manage assets until your care recipient’s death.
