SOLID OAK FINANCIAL SERVICES’ CONSERVATOR SERVICES
Mental Health Conservatorship
Protecting the individual’s rights is paramount. Mental health conservatorships are useful to ease the burden on the family while protecting the rights, financial situation, and living situation of the conservatee.
Emergency Conservatorship
In situations where near-immediate action needs to be taken, emergency conservatorship can halt financial exploitation. Those with mental health issues may have deteriorated to a point where an emergency conservatorship can be granted. Solid Oak Financial Services can act as both emergency and permanent conservator for your conservatee.
Government Benefit Navigation
Finding out what benefits an individual qualifies for and navigating the application process, much less using the benefits, can be very confusing. A conservatorship with Solid Oak Financial Services allows our team to manage government benefits on behalf of the conservatee, and make sure they are getting everything they qualify for and deserve.
Financial Management
People may try to take advantage of an individual through phone scams, pressure from those in power, or even within the individual’s family. Solid Oak Financial Services will fight to protect the conservatee from financial manipulation and protect their future.
Contractual Guidance
Entering into contracts or signing official documents can feel overwhelming for the individual with mental health disabilities. Solid Oak Financial Services can make sense of contracts and provide guidance and decision making for the conservatee.
Estate Management & Dispersal
Upon the death of a conservatee, Solid Oak Financial Services is there to conclude administration of their estate by distributing property to the representative of the estate, as well as file a final financial report.
Asset Management
Securing and managing property, real estate, financial assets, and other assets can frustrate and exacerbate mental health issues or disabilities. A conservatorship with Solid Oak Financial Services allows our team to manage those assets in the interest of the conservatee.

What Is A Conservator?
Conservators are appointed to make financial decisions for an individual or conservatee. These decisions might be: entering into contracts, paying bills, making investments, and more.
The conservatee doesn’t have to be incapacitated in all areas of life. A conservator is appointed on showing that the conservatee needs assistance – or doesn’t have the ability – to manage his or her financial affairs.
A balance needs to be maintained between helping adults make their own decisions and allowing them to maintain as much freedom as possible.
