How long does conservatorship last?
A conservatorship will last as long as it is needed. It will end if the conservatee, or person who is the subject of the conservatorship, no longer needs a conservator. For example, if someone was unable to care for himself because of the effects of a medical condition, but he is treated or recovers sufficiently to care for himself again, then there will be no more need for a conservator and the conservatorship will end.
If the conservatee dies, the conservatorship of both the person and of the estate, or financial assets of the person, will immediately end. At that point it will be up to the Personal Representative named in a Will or the Trustee of a Trust to handle the estate or assets of the deceased. A conservatorship of the estate of a person will also end if all the assets of the person are used up.
If a conservator is no longer willing or no longer able to act as conservator, that will not end the conservatorship. The conservatorship will continue if it is needed, but the courts will appoint a different person to act as the conservator. |
