Guardianships And Conservatorships

Our attorneys will guide you and your family through the often complicated process of obtaining a guardianship and conservatorship for a disabled or needy loved one. Let us help you to navigate these difficult and trying times. Effective July 1, 2009, Massachusetts implemented rules relative to guardianship and conservatorship practice in the state. Under the new law, guardians are appointed to make personal decisions, not financial decisions, for an incapacitated individual. Guardians appointed under the new law will not have authority over the incapacitated person’s property, including bank accounts. In order to manage assets, property and bank accounts of an incapacitated individual, a petition for conservatorship is necessary.
