Providing Legal Guidance to Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves
Guardianship And Conservatorship Attorney In Milford, Connecticut
What Is A Conservatorship?
In some situations, a loved one may no longer be able to manage their own financial or personal affairs due to age, illness, or disability. When that happens, the court can appoint a conservator — a trusted individual who has the legal authority to make important financial decisions on their behalf.
A conservator is responsible for managing tasks such as paying bills and debts, overseeing bank accounts and investments, and ensuring that all financial matters are handled responsibly. This arrangement can provide security and stability for someone who is unable to make these decisions on their own.

What is a Guardianship?
A guardianship allows a designated individual to make important personal and financial decisions on behalf of someone who cannot do so for themselves — such as a minor, an individual with an intellectual disability, or an adult who has become incapacitated due to illness or injury.
In addition to managing financial matters, a guardian may make decisions about medical care, living arrangements, and personal safety to ensure that their loved one’s needs are met and that they are protected from harm. Before a guardianship is granted, a Connecticut court must determine that the person — known as the ward — is unable to manage their own affairs. This decision is never made lightly. The court carefully considers medical evidence, the individual’s ability to care for themselves, and their capacity to make sound financial and personal decisions.
At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, we understand how sensitive and emotional this process can be. Our attorneys will guide you through each step, helping you gather the necessary documentation, coordinate with medical professionals, and present your case clearly to the court. Don’t wait until your loved one’s situation becomes more difficult to manage. Contact Minnella & Tramuta, LLC

What About Contesting a Guardianship or Conservatorship?
Recent high-profile cases have highlighted how important it is for the courts to retain the power to review and, when appropriate, revise a guardianship or conservatorship. Circumstances change — and when new evidence emerges or an individual’s condition improves, it may be time to reconsider the existing arrangement.
At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, we help Connecticut clients who believe a guardianship or conservatorship was wrongfully imposed or mishandled. If you suspect that information was withheld, decisions were made unfairly, or that a guardian or conservator has not acted in your best interests, our attorneys can help you take action to protect your rights.
We also work with individuals who have regained their health or independence and are ready to manage their own affairs once again. Our team will carefully review your situation, gather supporting evidence, and present your case to the court with diligence and determination.
