Guardianship and Conservatorship is a set of court supervised proceedings that appoints an individual or entity to manage the affairs of an incapacitated person.  A Guardian is a person appointed for the care of the person and will be given the authority to make all decisions about the care and custody of an incapacitated person.  A Conservator is a person appointed for the care of the estate (finances) and is given the authority to manage and control the financial affairs of an incapacitated person.  Guardianships and Conservatorships can be presented to the court at the same time.
