Rhode Island Conservatorship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints someone as a conservator to manage the affairs of a person who cannot manage them on their own. This may be due to physical or mental disabilities, age, or financial incapacity. A conservator is responsible for the care, protection, and financial management of the conservative. There are two types of Rhode Island Conservatorship: general conservatorship and limited conservatorship. General conservatorship covers all aspects of the conservative’s life, including personal, financial and medical decisions, while limited conservatorship covers only specific areas of the conservative’s life such as medical care, housing, or social services. The conservator is responsible for making decisions on behalf of the conservative that are in their best interest. The conservator must provide reports to the court on the conservative's financial situation and must follow court orders and any applicable state laws.
