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.

Oklahoma Objection to Appointment of Petitioner as Conservator of the Estate of an Adult is a legal process in Oklahoma where an individual raises concerns or opposes the appointment of a specific person as a conservator of an adult's estate. This objection can be filed on various grounds, including but not limited to: 1. Lack of Capacity: If the petitioner does not possess the necessary skills, qualifications, or capabilities to manage the financial affairs of the adult, an objection can be filed. It may be argued that the petitioner lacks the necessary financial knowledge or has a history of mismanaging finances. 2. Conflict of Interest: If the petitioner has a conflict of interest that could potentially harm the best interests of the adult or their estate, an objection can be filed. This conflict may arise if the petitioner has financial stakes in the adult's estate, is involved in legal disputes with the adult, or is not impartial towards the adult's needs and wishes. 3. Breach of Fiduciary Duty: If the petitioner has a history of breaching fiduciary duties, misappropriating funds, or engaging in fraudulent practices, an objection can be raised to prevent their appointment as a conservator. Evidence of financial mismanagement or unethical behavior can be submitted to support this objection. 4. Availability and Suitability: An objection can be raised if the petitioner is unable to devote sufficient time and attention to the proper management of the adult's estate. Factors such as the petitioner's existing commitments, physical or mental capacity, or other conflicting responsibilities can be cited as reasons for their unsuitability for the role. 5. Inappropriate Control or Influence: If it is believed that the petitioner may abuse their position of authority or exert undue influence over the adult's decisions or estate, an objection can be filed. This objection may be based on previous instances of manipulation, coercion, or financial abuse towards the adult. 6. Alternative Qualified Candidates: An objection can be filed if there are other qualified individuals who can better serve as a conservator for the adult's estate. The objection may outline the superior qualifications, experience, or expertise of these alternative candidates. It is important to note that these reasons for objection are just a few examples and may vary depending on the circumstances and specific legal provisions in Oklahoma. The objection should be supported by relevant evidence, documentation, and legal arguments to strengthen the case against the appointment of the petitioner as a conservator.Oklahoma Objection to Appointment of Petitioner as Conservator of the Estate of an Adult is a legal process in Oklahoma where an individual raises concerns or opposes the appointment of a specific person as a conservator of an adult's estate.
