A conservatorship is created by the appointment of a conservator, also sometimes called a guardian. A conservator is a person appointed by a court to manage the property, daily affairs, and financial affairs of another person (sometimes called the ward), who is unable by reason of a physical or mental infirmity or age to handle his/her affairs. For example, an adult daughter may be appointed as the conservator for her father who is suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease. An open hearing is held before the appointment is made.

Title: Understanding Florida's Objection to Appointment of Petitioner as Conservator of the Estate of an Adult keyword: Florida, objection, appointment, petitioner, conservator, estate, adult Description: In Florida, an objection to the appointment of a petitioner as conservator of the estate of an adult is a legal process involving the appointment of a conservator to handle the financial matters and assets of an adult who is unable to manage their own affairs. However, there may be cases where objections are raised against a specific individual or petitioner seeking this appointment. Types of Objections: 1. Lack of Qualification: An objection may arise based on the petitioner's lack of qualification to serve as a conservator. In Florida, certain requirements must be met, such as being of legal age, mentally competent, and demonstrating sound financial responsibility. 2. Conflict of Interest: An objection could be filed if there is a perceived conflict of interest between the petitioner and the adult for whom conservatorship is sought. This conflict could arise if the petitioner has a personal or financial gain at stake that may compromise their ability to act in the best interest of the adult. 3. Unsuitability or Unfitness: Another objection might be based on the petitioner's unsuitability or unfitness to serve as a conservator. This could be due to a history of financial mismanagement, proven incapacity to handle financial matters, or a lack of experience in handling estate management. 4. Neglect or Abuse: If there is evidence or concern of neglect or abuse of the adult, an objection to the appointment of the petitioner as conservator may be raised. This objection seeks to protect the adult's well-being by preventing an unsuitable person from assuming control over their estate. 5. Availability and Willingness: In some cases, an objection could be based on the petitioner's unavailability or unwillingness to fulfill the role of a conservator effectively. This objection can be raised if the petitioner has other commitments that might prevent them from carrying out the necessary duties or if they express a lack of interest or dedication. It's important to note that the specific objections mentioned above should be accompanied by substantial evidence and be presented within the framework of Florida's laws and regulations governing conservatorship appointments. The court will review the objections and make a determination based on the best interests of the adult.
