LDA Legal Solutions prepares limited conservatorship documents for families and caregivers throughout Orange County.
What Is a Limited Conservatorship?
A limited conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which a court-appointed conservator assists an adult with a developmental disability. It is intended to provide support while preserving as much of the conservatee’s independence as possible.
Who Needs a Limited Conservatorship?
A limited conservatorship may be considered when an adult age 18 or older needs assistance with certain personal or financial responsibilities due to a developmental disability, such as:
- Autism
- Down syndrome
- Cerebral palsy
- Epilepsy
- Intellectual disability
The court determines the areas in which the conservator will have authority while preserving the conservatee’s independence to the extent possible.
