Guiding Families Through Life’s Most Important Decisions
Compassionate legal support for conservatorships in the Nashville, TN and surrounding areas.
A conservatorship may be appropriate when an adult child is unable to independently make informed decisions regarding:
Medical care and treatment
Financial matters
Government benefits
Education services
Housing and daily living arrangements
Contracts and legal documents
For many parents, this process begins during the final years of high school as families prepare for the transition from childhood services into adulthood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conservatorships are commonly needed for adults with special needs over the age of 18, or for children with special needs who are approaching their 18th birthday. They help parents and caregivers continue assisting with important medical, financial, educational, and legal decisions into adulthood.
-
Ideally, families should begin the conservatorship process 6 months before a child turns 18. If the process is not completed by their birthday, a filed petition can often be used temporarily for certain medical or government-related matters while the case is pending.
