TOP 10 QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU DETERMINE IF IT IS TIME TO BECOME CONSERVATOR OF A LOVED ONE IN GLENDALE CA.

Clients in Glendale often ask us whether they should become conservators for an elderly, disabled, aging parent, or a disabled child.    Below is a checklist we have developed to help you make the decision:

1.   Can he or she properly administer medication to himself or herself?
2.   Can he or she understand the consequence of making a medical decision?
​3.   Can he or she provide food or shelter for himself?  Check to see of there is fresh food in the house.
4.   Is he or she easily influenced by others to give away his or her money?
​5.   Are there signs that he or she cannot be safe when left alone at home?

8.   Are there bills that are unpaid?
9.   Is he or she forgetful of recent events?
10.  Are there people who are trying to take financial advantage of him or her?

WHAT TO DO FIRST WHEN MOST OF THE ANSWERS TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS ARE YES?
