Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between a conservatorship & guardianship?

    In Tennessee, conservatorships apply to adults, while guardianships are for minors. Both involve appointing someone to make legal or financial decisions when a person cannot do so for themselves.

  • How do I know if my loved one needs a conservator?

    If they’re unable to manage their health, safety, or finances, and there’s a risk of harm or neglect, it may be time to consider conservatorship. We can help evaluate the situation legally and practically.

  • Can more than one person serve as conservator?

    Yes. The court may appoint co-conservators or divide responsibilities (such as one for health care and another for finances). We’ll help you structure the arrangement in a way that works for your family.

    Let's Start a Conversation

  • Is a conservatorship permanent?

    Not necessarily. Some are temporary, especially when recovery is expected. Others may remain in place long term. The court reviews the situation periodically and can modify or terminate the order if circumstances change.

  • What if someone disagrees with the conservatorship?

    They can contest it in court. We represent both petitioners and objecting parties and will prepare your case thoroughly if the issue becomes contested.

Seeking a conservatorship is a difficult decision—but it can also be an act of love and responsibility.

We’re here to make the process clear, respectful & focused on the person who needs protection most.
