A Massachusetts Verified Motion for Appointment of Temporary Conservator is a legal document that is filed with the court to appoint a temporary conservator of an individual’s estate. A temporary conservator is an individual who is appointed by the court to manage the financial affairs of a person who is either unable or unwilling to do so. This motion is commonly used in the event of a conservative’s incapacitation or disability. The verified motion must be carefully drafted to include all the essential elements of a legal document, including the names of the parties involved, a statement of facts, legal authority, and the relief sought. The motion should also specify a time frame for the temporary conservator’s appointment and the extent of their authority. There are two types of Massachusetts Verified Motion for Appointment of Temporary Conservator: an ex parte motion and an adversary proceeding. An ex parte motion is used when the conservative is unable to appear in court and the appointment is made without any opposition from the conservative or any other parties. An adversary proceeding is used when the conservative or any other parties oppose the appointment and a hearing takes place before a judge.
