Being appointed as a conservator for a loved one comes with significant responsibility, and the work doesn’t end once the court issues the appointment.

From creating an asset management plan and maintaining detailed financial records to filing annual returns and making decisions in the ward’s best interests, Georgia conservators have important ongoing obligations.

In our latest blog post, Oliver Maner attorney Kate Daly Cobb explains what happens after a conservator is appointed, common pitfalls to avoid, and why good recordkeeping can make all the difference.

Today, we recognize Constitution Day and the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787.

For more than two centuries, the Constitution has provided the foundation for our nation’s system of government and the rule of law. As attorneys, we’re especially mindful of the principles it established and their enduring role in our legal system.

Oliver Maner is proud to join communities across the country in commemorating this important moment in American history.

Summer boating season is in full swing along the Georgia coast, from weekends on the water to busy marinas and increased vessel traffic around Savannah’s waterways.

But when accidents or disputes happen on the water, many people are surprised to learn that maritime and admiralty matters can involve an entirely different legal framework than a standard injury or liability case.

Issues involving boating accidents, passenger injuries, marina incidents, commercial vessels, cargo operations, and navigational liability may fall under federal maritime law and carry unique procedural and jurisdictional considerations.

For businesses, vessel owners, operators, and individuals alike, understanding those distinctions matters—especially in a port city like Savannah.

When many people think of Savannah, they picture oak-lined streets, historic squares, and waterfront views. But behind the city’s charm is a dynamic economy powered by industries that drive growth throughout Coastal Georgia.

Logistics and transportation continue to expand through the Port of Savannah. Real estate and development projects are reshaping neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Healthcare organizations serve a growing population. Local governments support critical infrastructure. And entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses continue to build the future of our region.

For more than a century, Oliver Maner has worked alongside the people and organizations helping Savannah thrive. Our attorneys advise businesses, healthcare providers, developers, government entities, transportation and logistics companies, and families on matters ranging from contracts and business transactions to real estate, estate planning, tax issues, and litigation.

Because behind every successful community is a strong foundation—and often, thoughtful legal guidance.
