By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

What I would suggest is going to your state's site and searching Probate Court for "Guidelines for Conservators" which is most likely a downloadable *.pdf file written in plain language which will guide you through the process.
Good Luck!
PS .... and you need to account for everything and every action you make back to the court on an annual basis.
If you are the actual "conservator" my thought would be to go to the court system and voice your opinions and questions about the Co-conservator. You are this persons voice and part of the conservator is to look out for the "very BEST interest" of the person you have been legally appointed to. If the person you care for is of "good sound" mind and can make choices or has ideas and decisions and you feel as if that is what this person really wants...try to do what the person would want... it is their life after all.
It takes an attorney to to the foot work, once a G & C to a ward you have full capability to manage their care & fiances. Once someone has ALZ/DEM thing only continue to progress. My sis & I got a G & C after a con (pseudo husband) took her for ALL her money & dignity. The sooner you act the more ahead you will be. Blessings ~M
Due to my elder age, the court has appointed a co-conservator as my son is indigent.
The Atty. ( co-conservator) had been somewhat helpful, going to Team meetings, etc. but now seems to have reasons not to be available.
I'm still not clear as to what the Conservator responsibilities are when I ask for help/advice.
I will continue ( I do not request pay, I'm just interested in his well being ) as long as I can manage this duty but may need a conservator to carry on alone in the future.
You will definately need an Attorney to assist you with the Conservatorship. It is complicated but if your Mom needs this & you cannot, the court can appoint. someone else.
Best wishes.
Is your mother incompetent in the legal sense? What expert evidence is there about this fact? A person with dementia is not necessarily automatically considered incompetent, especially in the early stages.
I assume you have engaged a lawyer to take you through this process, and he or she can help you with all of the details.
