I just saw this. My wife and I love this movie, and always excpected that it would stretch the truth a bit. Anyone know more about this, or have and insights to what it means (legally, morally, etc).

A conservatorship is a legal arrangement that allows one adult person to make decisions for another adult person as though that other person was a child. Its usually used for adults who have severe cognitive problems that cause them to not be competent to make legal, financial and medical decisions. The family having conserved this guy means that they can force him into a contract and keep any money he earns. It’s abusive in this context.
