can someone become conservator without the family being informed?

Question

can someone become conservator without the family being informed?



Answer

Not unless the Petition misrepresents that there are no family members. Ordinarily all family members are to receive notice that a Conservatorship Petition has been initiated.



Answer

A petition to the Superior Court, with notice to interested parties, is necessary for a formal conservatorship of the person or the estate. However, by using a revocable trust or a durable power of attorney an individual can give control of his or her assets and financial affairs to another person, without notice to any family members.
