How do I establish guardianship and conservatorship of an adult?

Guardianships and conservatorships are both handled in probate court in your local superior court. Your local self-service center may have forms with instructions available that you can prepare, or you may seek the help of an attorney. The office of the clerk can inform you of the current filing fee, if any.
