A conservator is a person legally put in charge of someone else's money and property. Every year, a conservator has to give the court a detailed report showing what happened with that money and property. The report must cover things like money received, money spent, what is left, and plans for the coming year. In some cases — like when the person is very low income or their money is already watched over by another official — the court can allow a simpler, shorter report instead.
