Guardianships/Conservatorships A conservator is a person who is appointed by the Probate Court to manage and protect the property of a minor or incapacitated adult. An incapacitated person is a person who is unable to manage property and business affairs due to mental illness, infirmities accompanying advanced age, chronic use of drugs, confinement, and many other instances. A guardian is a person who looks after the personal care of a minor child or incapacitated person and their welfare, while a conservator looks after the monies and property.
