Legal Question in Elder Law in Alabama

Re: conservatorship

Yes. That sounds like a good idea, to get a lawyer to put something in writing.

However, I must say it's rather strange to even have a conservator involved (and a lawyer at that) in a situation where you are concerned about covering funeral costs. In other words, there's probably more money there than you know about. It'd be good to have someone keeping tabs on the conservator, perhaps just checking court filings and seekings to have accountings made to a supervising Court (judge).

Warning: this advice may be worth no more than what you paid for it, and could even be more harmful than no advice at all, so please take it only as an ill-informed shot from the hip written in response to too little information supplied to a relatively ignorant ... you get the drift. Seek competent legal advice based on full disclosure and an opportunity to have the legal issues and facts researched, and taking whatever time it takes to do that correctly and well.

Re: conservatorship

Correction to my first sentence of my previous reply: I think it's a good idea to (use a lawyer to) obtain something in writing from the conservator, as you originally asked.
