Ending a Conservatorship

A conservator must act until the court issues an order ending this responsibility. This ordinarily happens when:

• the conservatee dies
• the conservatee no longer needs this level of assistance
• in the case of a financial conservatorship, the conservatee's assets are used up, or
• the conservator resigns or can no longer handle the responsibilities. In this situation, the conservatorship itself does not end, but someone else takes over the conservator's duties.
