Is Your Loved One Losing the Ability to Make Sound Life Decisions?
Contact Us Today to Discuss Obtaining a Conservatorship.
We know how tough it is to watch a beloved family member struggle from the effects of a progressive illness such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) or dementia, or a serious, incapacitating illness or injury. Often, such individuals are no longer capable of caring for themselves or making important medical and financial decisions.
If your loved one planned in advance by creating a durable power of attorney or an advanced health care directive, then a conservatorship may not be necessary. Otherwise, careful consideration should be given to the prospect of getting one.
As painful as the idea may seem, you may need to protect your loved one by having someone else make important decisions for him or her. In fact, without a conservatorship, it is practically impossible to make health-care decisions since doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other key personnel may not consent to the release of private healthcare information.
In addition, obtaining a conservatorship will allow the designated conservator to deal with financial issues on behalf of your loved one, such as communicating with government entities, making withdrawals from retirement monies and dealing with financial institutions.
