CONSERVATORSHIP 
A conservator is a person appointed by the Probate Court to care for the money and assets of a protected individual. The conservator takes control of any bank accounts or other money, real estate, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, or other assets owned by the individual. The conservator is to then conserve and preserve the assets for the benefit of the individual and spend any money reasonably necessary for the care and support of the individual. If there is insufficient cash to pay the individual’s expenses, the conservator may sell certain assets, such as a home, other real estate, or mutual funds, etc., to raise cash.
