What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
My aunt has been in a nursing home over the last year or so. One of my cousins was appointed conservator to handle her affairs. The family members were not notified of the court decision. Should we have been notified? Since we were potential heirs due to intestate, should we the heirs have been provided with a full accounting of my aunt's estate while my aunt was living under conservator?
Now the same aunt has died. Is the conservator automatically appointed administrator? The conservator thinks so, and my aunt had no will to say who it should be. The conservator is not an heir of the estate. Also the conservator has taken possessions of my aunt's possessions. Does the conservator have to give the possessions back to the estate or purchase them from the estate?
