More details to this question:
I am trying to get conservatorship over my son before he turns 21 in May. I can't afford to hire an attorney and I need to get this done because his insurance company will not talk to me without it. I have been the sole caretaker for Chase since he was born. He is completely disabled, he can't talk or walk or do anything for himself. We have a home health nurse for him that comes to help take care of him Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. I do not work because I stay home to take care of him also. I need to get this done before his 21st birthday. He turns 21 May 23, 2017. I don't have any idea how to get this done and don't know how I will be able to afford it but he only has me and I need to be able to talk to the insurance people and the companies that supply his feeding supplies and other things he has to have.

I give out general legal advice and can not go through the entire process to have a conservator appointed for your son. If you don't know how to do it, I would suggest that you might want to contact the local bar association to see if it can make a referral for a pro bono attorney.
