A Caregiver’s Guide to Guardianship and Conservatorship
Attorney Mark T. Johnson was interviewed for a recent AARP article regarding financial and personal matters and how they relate to guardianship. The AARP article, A Caregiver’s Guide to Guardianship and Conservatorship, presents basic legal information and practical considerations when a protective arrangement for a loved one may be necessary.
The article describes the barriers a caregiver may face in assisting a loved one, options for assisting, and the basics of court-approved guardianship or conservatorship.
Attorney Johnson says, “The goal is not simply to gain control over someone’s affairs, but to find the least restrictive arrangement that protects the individual while respecting their rights.”
