Conservatorships


Conservatorship Lawyers Based In Contra Costa County

A conservatorship can legally empower someone to make important decisions and handle the affairs of another person who is incapable of doing so — often due to Alzheimer’s disease or another incapacitating illness or injury. Decisions regarding the establishment of a conservatorship are often sensitive — and disputes among family members are relatively common.
