Conservatorship: What Families Wish They Knew Before the Crisis Hit

Описание: In this episode of Navigating Senior Care with Stella, I'm joined by Brandon Garcia — a Senior Consultant with Pathway Senior Solutions who previously worked in the probate department of the Superior Court, where he helped families through the conservatorship process firsthand.

If you've ever asked yourself
"Do we really need a conservatorship?"
— this conversation is for you.

We cover everything families need to know before, during, and after filing:
✅ When conservatorship is legally necessary vs. alternatives like POA, trusts, or representative payee
✅ How much it actually costs — including ongoing court supervision most families don't expect
✅ What authority a conservator has over finances, medical decisions, and housing
✅ How the court prevents conservator abuse and misuse of funds
✅ Whether you can navigate the process without an attorney — and what mistakes families commonly make

Whether you're in a crisis right now or trying to plan ahead, this episode gives you real answers from someone who has worked inside the system.
