A conservatorship is a legal proceeding where the court appoints a person or organization to manage the personal and/or financial affairs of an individual who cannot do so themselves due to physical or mental incapacitation. Obtaining a conservatorship in Tennessee (TN) involves petitioning the Chancery or Probate court in the county where the potential conservatee resides. The petitioner must demonstrate that the conservatee lacks the capacity to manage their daily life or financial matters effectively. A medical examination report and other necessary documents need to be presented to the court for evaluation. Following this, a hearing is scheduled where the judge decides based on the evidence provided. Learn More:
