Life's Third Act

Learning More About Conservatorship and Guardianship [Episode 90]


Listen Later

Attorney-CPA Joe Cordell and co-host Susan Arthur discuss

the tools that are available if or when you have dementia or some type of
cognitive issue as you get older and you require specific care. They highlight
this issue through the lens of the case of Kise and Larry Davis, as
featured in the AARP magazine. They discuss how Larry had been taking care
of his stepmother, Kise, from a distance until she changed her Power of
Attorney to give power to a trusted friend, a handyman, in the area.

They discuss how a guardianship would have impacted the

need requires. Joe uses this opportunity to highlight the difference between a
conservatorship and a guardianship, as well as talks about how a Guardian Ad
Litem can impact this type of situation for all involved.
