Conservatorships can be petitioned at the court for adults of 18 years old up to any age. Not all situations are the same so conservatorships are petitioned for different reasons. Some common reasons why conservatorships are filed are as follows:

• A developmentally disabled minor who is turning 18

• A parent or spouse who is losing their mental capacity due to dementia or Alzheimer’s

• A spouse or family member who has suffered brain injuries or other injuries preventing them from giving informed consent

• An adult child who is under extreme influence or control of drugs or alcohol

 

Aside from the examples listed above, there could be any number of factors that contribute to someone needing to petition for a conservatorship.
