Answer to Question 1

B
A conservator can be responsible for the conservatee's property, person, or both. The conservatee is a ward of the conservator or guardian and has no decision-making rights and, in many states, has no legal right to sue to terminate the conservatorship or guardianship. The conservator is the individual appointed by the court; this person can be a family member or someone who has a conflict of interest. Conservatorship is a most restrictive alternative and requires a court hearing.
