While a guardian makes personal decisions for an incapacitated adult, a conservator is appointed to manage their financial affairs. This role is essential when someone is no longer able to responsibly handle money, property, or bills. Whether due to cognitive decline, injury, or other causes, a conservatorship can offer structure, accountability, and legal protection for everyone involved. 

A conservator in Georgia may be responsible for:

• Creating and maintaining a financial plan or budget
• Managing bank accounts, real estate, and other assets
• Paying ongoing bills and outstanding debts
• Making investment decisions in line with fiduciary duties
• Filing state and federal taxes on behalf of the ward
  

Conservatorship isn’t a decision to make lightly. The process requires clear documentation, court approval, and ongoing oversight. We help you understand your options—and your obligations—every step of the way. Planning for the future isn’t always easy—but it’s peace of mind. Let our experienced guardianship and conservatorship attorneys guide you. Contact us today for a free consultation.
