What is the most frustrating thing for the court in guardianship and conservatorship actions?
The Court is often frustrated with families who have not started the proceedings when they should have and claim that there is an emergency. For instance, the family will initiate the petition for the appointment of a guardian and conservator after their parent has lost many thousands of dollars and then expect the court and the conservator to recover the lost funds. When families wait too long to file the action, serious injury and/or death to the parent or family member who is incapacitated can result.
