“Nothing says love more than taking care of a loved one”
When a Power of Attorney is not possible...
In the event that a person becomes incapacitated and in the absence of a power attorney designation, a conservatorship becomes the primary option for the selection of a guardian for the incapacitated person. Conservatorships are common in cases where the person in question is in a coma, suffering from dementia or otherwise physically or mentally incapacitated. Family members may also seek to have a conservatorship established if they believe a loved one is suffering from exploitation as the result of diminished capacity. Many times parents of a special needs child, need a conservatorship to continue to make health care and financial decisions for a special needs child once that child becomes an adult at the age of 18.
In the case of guardianships, in the event that mi nor child inherits money through an estate or life insurance policy, a guardianship must be established for the receipt and protection of those funds. A power of attorney will not be sufficient in this case as the inheritance is that of the child and children do not possess the legal competency transfer any powers of their estates.
