What is the potential liability of a guardian/conservator?
A guardian or conservator is not individually liable for the actions of the protected person unless the guardian/conservator was personally negligent. Also, a guardian/conservator is not required to expend his/her own funds on behalf of a protected person. However, a guardian may be held liable if they have failed in taking reasonable steps to assure that the protected person receives proper care and/or services, or have improperly managed the protected person’s property or finances.
