Idaho law provides for a guardianship of the person and a conservatorship of the property when an adult can no longer manage his or her own affairs. Both are court proceedings that remove rights from the person subject to them, and Idaho courts require a supporting evidentiary record before granting either.
Fazzio Law assists families seeking an appointment when one is genuinely needed, and assists appointed guardians and conservators in carrying out their duties: the inventories, accountings, and reports Idaho courts require. Where a less restrictive tool serves, such as a power of attorney executed while capacity remains, the firm will say so.
In Idaho, a guardian makes decisions about the person (care, residence, medical matters); a conservator manages the property. One person can hold both roles, and many cases need only one.
Frequently, yes, if planning happens while the person still has capacity: durable powers of attorney and health-care directives cover much of the same ground without a court proceeding.
