What Is A Conservatorship?
A conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints someone to manage the financial affairs of a minor or an individual who is unable to do so themselves due to incapacity or disability. The appointed conservator is responsible for handling important matters such as paying bills, managing bank accounts and investments, and overseeing financial decisions in the best interest of the individual.

What is a Guardianship?
A guardianship is a legal arrangement that allows a trusted individual to make personal, medical, and sometimes financial decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to care for themselves. This may include decisions related to healthcare, living arrangements, and overall well-being. Guardianships are often established for minors, individuals with disabilities, or those who have become incapacitated.
Before a guardianship is granted, the court must determine that the individual is unable to manage their own affairs. This process involves careful consideration of their physical and mental condition, as well as their ability to make informed decisions. Because of the seriousness of this arrangement, courts evaluate these matters thoroughly before granting authority to another person.
As an estate planning attorney in Oklahoma City, I help guide families through the guardianship process, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that your loved one’s best interests remain the priority. Contact The Terrell Law Firm to schedule a consultation and discuss your options.

Recent high-profile cases have highlighted the importance of the courts’ ability to review and modify guardianship or conservatorship arrangements when new information comes to light. In some situations, there may be concerns about how a guardianship was established or whether all relevant facts were properly considered. In others, an individual’s condition may have improved, making it appropriate to revisit the arrangement.
As an estate planning attorney in Oklahoma City, I assist clients in evaluating whether a guardianship or conservatorship should be modified or terminated.
