Arizona Conservatorship and
Guardianship Services

Many people have not planned ahead and do not have life planning documents, such as a will, power of attorney and/or a trust.  If they are already incapacitated, it is too late to have documents prepared. If someone becomes incapacitated and cannot make health care or placement decisions for themselves, sometimes requesting the court to appoint a guardian is the only answer. If an incapacitated person cannot manage their financial affairs because, for example, they cannot pay their bills the person may need a court-appointed conservator. A conservator may also be required to protect assets from being wasted or dissipated by the incapacitated person or by an exploiter. Guardianship and conservatorship law is a prime focus of NRG’s practice.

Led by Carol A. Soderquist, the former Co-Chair of the State Bar of Arizona’s Mental Health and Elder Law Committee, NRG has vast experience in Title 14 guardianship and conservatorship proceedings, including appointment of guardians with "mental health" powers and emergency petitions. NRG also works in association with many private fiduciaries and the public fiduciary in providing protection to incapacitated persons.
