@surrender Welcome to Mayo Connect. I am unsure where you are located. When I lived in California, a person being conserved had a conservator appointed for a one year period, and had to go through a yearly reappointment. If you are privately conserved, that is, not overseen by a Public Guardian, there is a mental health professional assessment done each year, plus an annual accounting. The conservatee [you] can protest the conservator, and go to trial. Now remember, this is in California, so your state may be different. I suggest you check with your county's Public Guardian Office, as a start. We are not medical professionals here, nor can we offer legal or medical advice.

I hope this gives you a stepping stone to start with. You will probably need to have proof and documentaion of the things you allege. Will you let me know if this helps?
