Re: Conservatorship

See an attorney quickly about a conservatorship--the normal process is about 4-8 weeks, but temporary conservatorship can be granted in the meantime. The attorney can also review any other estate planning matters that may need to be taken care of at the same time.

It's also possible that the health care power of attorney, if witnessed by two persons but not notarized, could be valid. The financial power of attorney usually does require notarization, but in any case, take these powers of attorney to the lawyer for review just in case they're usable.
