regarding guardianship and conservatorship, is there a difference between the two?? As in a DPOA, does guardianship have specific areas like medical, financial, etc....or is it all inclusive?? When there are 2 people becoming co-guardians, do they need to make joint decisions or can decisions be made independently?? What is the approximate cost for having this done (through nj courts) ??
thanks for any input
Guardianship or Conservatorship might also be needed when the POA or Health Care document doesn't include powers that a third party wants to see in the document.
Guardianship and Conservatorship are court proceedings that may involve filing fees, annual accountings and reviews by Court appointed special guardians.
