Any payments have to be approved by the court. Did you not attend the conservator hearing? That would have been the appropriate venue to ask for reimbursement of your services.
The temporary conservator is court-ordered to deal with finances and medical matters, so none of those contacts will return your calls.

Beedee, I wasn't quite sure what you were saying in your post.... hope this is what you were asking.  Majority of adult children do not get paid for taking care of their parent... unless the parent can pay from their own retirement.

Many of us spend time away from our jobs and families to drive our parent to where ever they need to be, and for picking up things they need, and never even think about being paid.
