Dan Williams, Esq.
Should a nursing home be able to
obtain a conservatorship through the probate court, when the patient has
previously designated a power of attorney for their financial needs? In recent weeks, I have had a number of
clients seeking advice about what to do in that exact situation. A conservator is a court appointed individual
who makes financial decisions for a person who is incompetent or
incapacitated. There are ways to contest
a nursing home’s petition for a conservatorship, but you need to contact a
probate litigation specialist who can properly review your case and, advise and
represent you in challenging such a petition.
At Fausone Bohn, LLP, Dan
Williams focuses on probate disputes. If you have an estate planning issue, or
believe that you may need to go to Court to right a wrong with a loved one’s
estate plan, give us a call at (248) 380-0000.
I want to know what is the answer to the conservator taking over the care of an individual. With a prior individual given power of attorney.
