Can you explain Nomination of Conservator for My Person, and Nomination of Conservator for My Estate means?
Full Question:
I have received copies of documents prepared for my mother, including Living Trust, Will and others. There are two documents that confuse me - Nomination of Conservator for My Person, and Nomination of Conservator for My Estate. (I am named in both of these, but the alternate conservators are different on each). Can you explain what these mean?

Answer:
A conservator of the person cares for and protects a person when the judge decides that the person (called the "conservatee") can’t do it.
A conservator of the estate handles the conservatee’s financial matters – like paying bills and collecting a person's income – if the judge decides the conservatee can’t do it.
