Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about guardian and conservator bonds
A guardian makes personal care decisions (healthcare, living arrangements) for an incapacitated person, while a conservator manages their financial affairs and assets. One person can serve in both roles or they can be separate appointments.
Most courts require bonds for conservators managing assets, but may waive bonds for guardians of the person only. However, combined guardian/conservators typically need bonds covering the full value of the ward's assets.
Guardian and conservator bonds remain in effect for the duration of the appointment, which can be many years. The bond continues until the ward regains capacity, passes away, or the guardian/conservator is discharged by the court.
