Conservatorship New Jersey
Protecting Assets and Managing Financial Affairs for Loved Ones
If someone you love is no longer capable of managing their financial affairs due to age, illness, or cognitive decline, establishing a conservatorship in New Jersey can provide the legal authority needed to protect their assets and ensure their financial well-being.
At Drescher & Cheslow, P.A., our experienced attorneys guide families through every step of the conservatorship process with care, transparency, and efficiency.
What Is Conservatorship in New Jersey?
A conservatorship in New Jersey is a legal arrangement in which the court appoints a conservator to manage the financial affairs and property of an individual (called the conservatee) who can no longer do so independently. Unlike guardianship, which covers personal and medical decision-making, conservatorship focuses specifically on financial matters.
This may be necessary when a loved one:
- Is no longer paying bills on time or managing their bank accounts
- Is showing signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s
- Is vulnerable to financial abuse or exploitation
- Has suffered a serious injury or illness that affects their mental capacity
A court-appointed conservatorship attorney in New Jersey ensures this process is carried out lawfully and with full respect for the conservatee’s rights.
Our Conservatorship Legal Services Include:
Filing petitions and notices with the court
Evaluating whether conservatorship is appropriate or if alternatives are available
Assisting with required medical and financial evaluations
Representing family members or proposed conservators at hearings
Advising conservators on their ongoing responsibilities and legal obligations
Whether you’re seeking a temporary or permanent conservatorship, we help ensure that your loved one’s financial future is secure.
