Atlanta, GA asked in Estate Planning and Family Law for Tennessee

Q: I need to know what I can do for a non relative undergoing conservatorship hearing

She is very capable of paying her bills, she pays all her bills herself with no help, she has investments and everything. They are saying she is incapable and already undergone the test, and been appointed a conservator but the hearing is the 28th. I'm not related, and her closest relatives aren't doing anything to help, or to see if she's okay or anything. I have most of her financial stuff such as bills, bank statements, investments, etc. I have this stuff put together under her behalf. They say she doesn't know her address or anything when it is quite the opposite..

A: You can call the court where the case is being heard and ask who has been appointed to serve as attorney ad litem to the respondent, or who has appeared as the respondent's private attorney (this is uncommon but theoretically possible). Then contact that attorney to offer your testimony.
