A Utah Letter of Conservatorship is a document used in Utah to appoint a conservator for an incapacitated person, such as an elderly or disabled individual. The letter appoints a third party, known as the conservator, to make decisions and manage the incapacitated person's affairs. There are three types of Utah Letter of Conservatorship: Full Conservatorship, Limited Conservatorship, and Emergency Conservatorship. A Full Conservatorship grants the conservator broad authority to manage the incapacitated person's affairs, including but not limited to making financial decisions, executing contracts, and managing the individual's medical treatment. A Limited Conservatorship grants the conservator more specific authority on a case-by-case basis, and only authorizes the conservator to make decisions in certain, limited areas. An Emergency Conservatorship is a temporary conservatorship granted to protect an incapacitated person from harm in an urgent situation. All types of Utah Letter of Conservatorship must be approved by a judge in order for it to be valid.
