Conservatorships: Minors
A conservator is a person who is given the authority by Probate Court to be responsible for the assets (called an "estate") of a Protected Individual (PI). A conservator is nominated by a petition filed with the Probate Court. Anyone interested in the estate, affairs or welfare of the alleged PI may petition. The alleged PI must be a resident of Oakland County.
