What is a Conservatorship in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, a conservatorship is a legal process that allows a court to appoint someone (a conservator) to manage the personal or financial affairs of an individual (the respondent) who is no longer capable of doing so on their own. This may include making decisions about:

  • Medical care and treatment
  • Housing and daily needs
  • Paying bills and managing income
  • Handling property and assets


Unlike power of attorney documents, which are voluntarily granted, a conservatorship is established through the court system when someone is no longer able to make informed decisions or consent to such arrangements.

Who Needs a Conservatorship?

You may want to consider a conservatorship if your loved one:

  • Suffers from Alzheimer’s or dementia
  • Has a developmental disability or mental illness
  • Was seriously injured or incapacitated
  • Is being financially exploited or neglected


As your conservatorship lawyer in Cleveland, TN, we help determine if this step is necessary and advise you on the best legal path forward, which may include less restrictive alternatives when appropriate.
