I have had conservatorship of my elderly mom for about 5 yrs. now. Every year the attorney sends me a letter?
asking me to turn in her bank statements for review. This year I received a bill for a little over $1000. It seems strange I would receive one now. I did pay the attorney before we went to court for conservatorship. Do I still even need the attorney or is this something I can turn in directly to whomever reviews it?
Oh okay FM, I didn't realize that. Thanks! I don't really have a problem with it. I just didn't want to shell out the money if it was something I could take care of myself.

The attorney is the conservator. You can always request an "accounting" from the conservator who must provide a description of the costs associated with the conservatorship.

You need to go to the court file and see exactly who is the conservator -- is it you? Or is it the attorney? It's important to know because if it's you, you are responsible for filing accountings and reports to the court, which you might be able to do without an attorney. Some states require that a conservator have a lawyer; some do not. Seek out the conservatorship statutes for your state so you know exactly what you're dealing with. Do not assume anything - conservatorship is a legal proceeding and if you are the conservator, you have responsibilities to the court and you must take of them.
