Guardianship and conservatorship are very similar in that they give one party the power over another party's affairs when he or she is not able to. Guardianship means that a person, called a guardian, has the power to make decisions about someone's personal life, such as housing, medical care or even that person's day to day activities such as what food they eat. On the other hand, for a conservatorship, a person, called a conservator, has the power over another's financial affairs, such as investments and bills. For both conservatorship and guardianship, a person who needs a conservator or guardian has to be physically or mentally incapacitated and not be able to take care of their own affairs.
