Conservatorship is a legal measure...

A guardianship is a legal proceeding...

primarily aimed at protecting individuals under 18 years of age. It involves designating a guardian, either by agreement or court ruling, who will manage, safeguard, and care for the individual who is unable to do so independently. When a minor inherits wealth, a 'guardianship of the estate' is established, where the guardian manages and protects the minor's assets until they come of age, ensuring that their inheritance is responsibly utilized.

Having a guardian offers significant benefits. It guarantees that a seasoned individual will be available to offer advice on key life matters such as financial management, educational pursuits, and healthcare decisions. Moreover, for children who have lost their parents or lack adequate parental support, the emotional stability provided by having another mature role model in their life can be invaluable.
