What is a Guardian and a Conservator and why should I appoint a Guardian/Conservator if I have a minor child?
A guardian is a person or persons that you name to care for and raise your minor child if you are no longer in life. A Conservator manages your child’s financial affairs. If you have children under 18, you should appoint a guardian in your Will. If you and your spouse die at the same time without appointing a guardian, the Probate Court judge will select a guardian to care for your children and a Conservator to manage their inheritance until they become adults.
