A guardian is a person appointed by the court who is responsible for the personal affairs of an incapacitated person. A guardian is responsible for making decisions regarding the incapacitated person’s support, care, health, safety, habilitation, education, therapeutic treatment, and if not inconsistent with an order of commitment, residence.

A conservator is a person appointed by the court who is responsible for managing the estate and financial affairs of an incapacitated person.

Either a conservator or guardian may be full, limited, or temporary, depending upon the court’s order. The court can detail the powers granted to the guardian and describe the manner and extent of judicial supervision of the guardian.

A guardian can also be the conservator if there is no objection by anyone.

A good general document to read is called, "Legal Implications of Mental Incapacity: Guardianship & Conservatorship" by Lawerence A. Frolik.

Each state or country can have different laws for guardianship/conservatorship. Even Lawerence A. Frolik's information could potentially be out dated. Please consult an attorney for more information.
