Guardianship and conservatorship are very similar in that
they give one party the power over another party's affairs when he or she is not
able to. Guardianship means that a
person, called a guardian, has the power to make decisions about someone's
personal life, such as housing, medical care or even that person's day to day
activities such as what food they eat.
On the other hand, for a conservatorship, a person, called a
conservator, has the power over another's financial affairs, such as
investments and bills. For both
conservatorship and guardianship, a person who needs a conservator or guardian
has to be physically or mentally incapacitated and not be able to take care of
their own affairs.
