What is the difference between a Conservator and Guardianship membership?

A conservator is responsible for managing that person's financial affairs and property.

A guardian is responsible for making personal and care-related decisions for a minor or an adult who cannot make those decisions independently. Depending on the court order, this may include decisions about healthcare, living arrangements, education, and daily well-being.

In some cases, the same person may serve in both roles. The guardian's and conservator’s authority is determined by the court order.
