What is a pre-designation of conservator?
A pre-designation of conservator is simply a statement indicating whom you would want to serve as the guardian or conservator of your person in the event that a guardian or conservator is to be appointed for you. If you have a durable power of attorney for both financial and health care purposes, it is less likely that a court will appoint a guardian or conservator for you. Still, there is always the possibility that someone may petition the courts to have a guardian or conservator appointed for you. In that case, a pre-designation of conservator will tell the court your preferences if you are not able to speak for yourself.
