Can a person who is conserved, make his own will without his conservator?

Hello, If the conservatee has the mental capacity to do so, he should be able to do so. I have attached a link that explains the requirements for a Will in CT.

The short answer is it depends. The longer answer is the conserved person ("ward") retains all rights not expressly granted by the Court in a conservatorship proceeding. In other words, the Probate Court would have had to have specifically stated that the conservator has the power to draft and finalize a will on behalf of the word. Presuming the ward has the competence to make a will, there will be no issue. If the nature of the conservatorship is about the ability of the ward to make decisions regarding her/his estate, there likely would need to be application made to the Probate Court to allow the conservator the power to make a will on behalf of the ward. It is best to contact an attorney regarding the making of a will to determine what is the best way to proceed.

Attorney Anthony is correct, it depends on the competency of the ward, and what the conservator was placed in charge of.

There is a CT Supreme Court case on this. I believe that it's Reid v. Lord. I once had occasion to do a will for a woman under a conservatorship. Before doing it, I informally discussed it with the probate judge. If you're going to do it, I would be very careful to discuss it with the client and obtain witnesses who know him/her and can testify as to his/her capacity. It would help to be able to have the client state the provisions of the will in front of the witnesses and perhaps memorialize their statements.
