Q: Is it likely to change conservators or terminate conservatorship if the individual has a relative to care for them now?
My older sister received a conservator due to mental disabilities, when she aged out of the foster care system. I am now of age and reliable enough to take care of my sister as I pretty much do already. Is it likely to take over conservatorship or terminate her conservatorship so that she can live with me and I help her.
A: You can certainly ask the court to make you her conservator. Unless her condition has improved, I doubt they would dissolve the conservatorship. If you are just 18, I am not sure the court will find that you are mature enough to serve as conservator. Have you asked her current conservator about allowing her to live with you?
