Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois
Conservatorship
I have an elderly developmentally delayed Aunt who lived with her parents all her life. They are now deceased and she has inherited a substantial estate. My concern is for her not being able to manage complex affairs and being taken advantage of finacially. Can I seek conservativeship with her willing too sign me as conservator without going to court?

Re: Conservatorship
No. The court must appoint a conservator. Seek out the advice of an attorney in the county in which your aunt lives.
Re: Conservatorship
Even if your Aunt is willing, the documets must still be filed and approved by the Court. Many laws are changing regarding conservatorships because of the fear of elder abuse.
I suggest consulting an attorney, we are available if you should so choose, to provide you the proper assistance.
