In an involuntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator if an adult needs assistance managing personal and financial affairs. In a voluntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator upon request of an adult who seeks assistance without making a finding that the individual is incapable.
The Probate Court will often appoint a family member of the individual, or his or her close friend, as the conservator, and sometimes it will appoint someone else, such as a lawyer. Find more information on conservators in Connecticut here.
