What is the difference between and guardian and a conservator?
Guardianship provides for the children’s care until they reach the age of 18. The guardian has the power and responsibility of a parent and makes decisions about the child’s upbringing—schooling, religious training and medical treatment. Conservatorship provides for management and distribution of money and property left to children until they reach the age of 18. One person can perform both functions, or one individual may be named as guardian and another as conservator.
