Court reviews an action to establish a conservatorship that was not fully adjudicated before the Respondent's death

IN RE: THE CONSERVATORSHIP OF PAUL ESTIL LINDSEY (Tenn. Ct. App. September 16, 2011)

This is an action to establish a conservatorship. The trial court assigned one-half of Petitioner's attorney's fees and fees of the guardian ad litem to Respondent, although Respondent died before the matter was fully adjudicated and no fiduciary was appointed. We reverse.
