Appointing Conservator For Landholdings

Summary

In Missouri, appointing a conservator involves filing a petition with the probate court, notifying interested parties, and attending a court hearing. A Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) can be an alternative for managing landholdings, but minors cannot be granted power of attorney. Instead, appoint an adult or set up a trust. You can draft a Power of Attorney with stipulations to transfer authority to a minor upon reaching 18. Include the legal description of the land in the document. Consult an attorney to ensure compliance with Missouri law.
