Adult Guardianship and Conservatorship

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has created a Guide to Managing Another Person's Finances that may be useful to those who have a Financial Power of Attorney for another or act as a guardian or conservator for another person. 

The AARP has also created Tips for Managing Someone Else's Money that you may find helpful.

This brochure was created by Idaho Legal Aid Services and provides information on available resources for caregivers - both legal and non-legal.

We currently offer the following forms: Case Information Sheet for Guardianships and Conservatorships; Guardian's Annual Report for an Adult; Guardian's Proposed Care Plan for an Adult; Complaint Regarding a Guardian or Conservator; Conservator's Accounting Form; Conservator's Accounting for Small Estates (under $50,000); and Conservator's Inventory and Financial Plan. These forms can be accessed through the links provided below or directly via the Court Assistance Office website.

Be sure to carefully review all instructions before completing and submitting any forms to the courthouse. Please note that there are no publicly available forms to establish or terminate an adult guardianship or conservatorship - these processes require assistance from an attorney.
