Boston Guardianships and Conservatorships
Guardianships
Assets that are inherited by a minor or received by a minor in a settlement agreement, which do not pass to a trust for the minor's benefit, must generally be held by a guardian who is appointed and supervised by the court. Our firm can assist you in establishing a guardianship, and if you are the guardian, advise you as to your responsibilities for the minor's assets.
Conservatorships
In a conservatorship, a conservator is appointed to control the assets of an incapacitated adult or a minor child. This type of estate planning provides protection for clients in the event of incapacity. We can help you determine when a conservatorship might be necessary, establish the conservatorship and provide advice to conservators about their rights under the law.
