conservatee
Noun
Meaning
conservatee (plural conservatees)
(law) A person who the court has determined requires a conservator to handle their estate or affairs.
Examples
A conservator reports to the court that appointed them, and is monitored by the supervising judicial court in the county in which the conservatee permanently resides.
A better approach would be to petition the court to appoint an independent attorney to represent your friend as conservatee.
Generally, a conservator or guardian over the estate is only appointed if the conservatee has assets that need to be protected, marshalled, and managed.
It is not uncommon for one person to hold both offices and be referred to as the "guardian and conservator" of the conservatee, even though a conservator or guardian can be appointed over the person only, the estate only, or both.
LPS conservatorships begin with a temporary 30-day conservatorship, and if the conservatee remains gravely disabled, the conservator is reappointed for a year; the LPS conservatorship can be renewed annually, or terminated if no longer needed.
A person under conservatorship is a "conservatee," a term which can refer to an adult.
