Why conservatorship is its own discipline

There's more to it than the paperwork.

​

Authority you have to read correctly. Decisions you have to defend. A record that holds up years later.

​

That's what this curriculum helps you build.

What you get

ONE CASE, ALL THE WAY THROUGH

​

A client comes to you as a referral and stays all the way through the full conservatorship lifecycle.

​

Pre-petition. Appointment. Stabilization. Ongoing management. Disputes. Closure.

​

Every phase of a conservatorship lifecycle. Nobody's estate at stake.

Collaborative Office Scene
