Guardian/Conservator Process

Beginning January 2018, the process for the Public Administrator to be appointed Guardian/Conservator for an individual has changed.
Please keep in mind that a family member or close friend is the preference of the Court to serve as Guardian/Conservator for a person that may be incapacitated or disabled. If no such individuals are willing and able to serve, an outside interested party should hire an attorney to petition the Court for either Guardian and/or Conservator.
The Public Administrator can be named as the proposed Guardian/Conservator for an individual in the petition filed with the Court.
If the Public Administrator is the proposed Guardian/Conservator, please complete the Intake Form and contact the Public Administrator to provide more information.
