Contact your attorney as only the courts can grant the powers of guardianship or conservatorship. The guardian or conservator is subject to the direction of the courts.
A guardian makes personal and medical decisions promoting the comfort, safety, and health of an individual or ward. Guardianship duties can be "limited" or "full." A guardian must file an annual report with the court.
Kansas law requires that the conservator acts on behalf of the conservatee (individual), to manage the estate for the benefit of the conservatee, and annually present to the court a verified account of the conservatee’s income and expenses.
