Legal Steps To Secure A Conservatorship In Broomfield
Getting a financial conservatorship in Broomfield follows a clear legal process:
- Filing the petition: A family member files a petition showing that an adult needs help managing their finances.
- Emergency orders (if needed): If assets face immediate risk, we can request temporary conservatorship for quick protection.
- Court investigation: The court orders medical evaluations and appoints a Court Visitor. Colorado law protects the proposed protected person’s rights, including the right to an attorney. Our lawyers helped establish this standard through landmark case law.
- Hearing and appointment: We present evidence at the court hearing to obtain letters of conservatorship, giving legal authority to protect assets.
Once appointed, the conservator manages the estate by listing all assets, handling investments and property, paying bills and taxes, getting court approval for major decisions and filing yearly reports. We guide families through every step while protecting the estate from exploitation.
Managing Complex Assets Under Conservatorship
High-value estates need close attention. Our asset management conservator attorneys in Colorado handle corporate stock portfolios, 401(k) plans, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), commercial property and business interests.
We work closely with financial advisors and accountants to preserve wealth while paying for care. Our attorneys prepare all required court documents for asset sales, property deals and investment choices. Whether we serve as your conservator or legal counsel, we follow Colorado’s fiduciary standards.
Resolving Disputed Financial Conservatorships
Family conflicts can put an estate at risk. We help clients in contested conservatorship cases. Sometimes siblings cannot agree on who should serve as conservator. Other times, family members accuse a conservator of mishandling money.
Our probate litigation attorneys protect conservators from baseless accusations. We also take action when a fiduciary violates their duties. Attorney Chayet serves as Public Administrator for the 18th Judicial District. His trial experience representing state and county judicial districts allows him to handle complex probate disputes across Colorado, including Broomfield. He regularly investigates financial abuse of vulnerable adults and brings this experience to private conservatorship cases.
