Conservatorship vs. Guardianship in Oregon

Conservatorships and guardianships are similar in that they are established to appoint a trusted individual to make decisions on behalf of a mentally or physically incapacitated person. They differ in the types of decisions that can be made. A guardianship will typically establish the right to make legal, medical, and personal decisions, whereas a conservatorship will typically address the right to manage financial affairs.

Appointing a Guardian or Conservator

Levine Law Center has experience protecting the needs of people who can no longer make decisions for themselves due to age or physical/mental incapacity. In such cases, we can:

Obtain a determination from a qualified professional that the person lacks the physical and/or mental capacity to manage his or her own affairs;
Establish the qualifications of the guardian or conservator and help you find a trusted person who can fulfill these; andf
Set forth the terms and scope of the guardianship or conservatorship.

"I highly recommend! I worked with Andrew, and had the best experience I have had with an attorney. He was so truthful never tried to sugarcoat anything he said it how it was."
She truly has integrity and was the advocate for me in my children I needed and could depend on.

I spoke to Andrew for a thirty-minute session and came out very impressed with his expertise and assured confidence.
