Definition of protected person

A protected person is someone who has been appointed a conservator or has a protective order made for them. This means that someone else has been given the legal authority to make decisions for them and protect their interests.

For example, if an elderly person is no longer able to make decisions for themselves due to dementia, a conservator may be appointed to manage their finances and make medical decisions on their behalf. This ensures that the person is protected and their interests are taken care of.
