Depending on certain circumstances, it might be necessary to appoint a conservator or guardian. If an heir is a minor child, or lacks the mental or physical capacity to live independently, then it is often necessary for the court to appoint a guardian or conservator. We can advise you on this process and help you complete and file all necessary documents.
