Single guardianship or conservatorship for two or more persons
When someone wants to become a guardian or conservator for more than one person at the same time, and those people are closely related (like siblings, a parent and child, or a married couple), only one set of paperwork needs to be filed for all of them together. However, if the guardianship or conservatorship ends for one person but not the others, a separate financial accounting must be done for that one person at that time.
