Conservatorship(as used in law): A legal arrangement where a court gives one person (the conservator) the power to manage another person's money, property, or personal affairs because that person can't do it themselves.
Contingent (contingent institutional choice)(as used in philosophy and logic): Something that could be different depending on circumstances or choices people make, rather than something that *has* to be the way it is.
Partial guardianship(as used in law): A legal arrangement where one person has decision-making power over another person, but only for certain specific areas of their life (like medical decisions but not financial ones).
advance directive(End-of-life medical ethics and personal identity): A legal or medical document signed by a competent person stipulating what medical treatments should or should not be applied to that person in a future state of incompetence.
