CONSERVATORSHIPS

Older adults often get to a point in life where that they either have difficulty tending to their business, cease to want to tend to their business, or are unable to tend to their business. Sometimes a Guardianship is established for such a person. At other times a Conservatorship is established for such a person. The Conservator who is appointed by the Court becomes responsible to the Court for seeing that the business of the Ward is appropriately handled. Unless the Conservator is an attorney, Mississippi law requires that the Conservator have legal counsel to assist with meeting the formalities of the law. David Ringer typically handles this type of work. Fees are charged for representation of a Conservatorship or a Guardianship on an hourly basis. However, no fee is generally paid until approved by the court.
