O.C.G.A. § 29-5-21: Rights and powers removed from ward.

(a) Unless the court’s order specifies that one or more of the following powers are to be retained by the ward, the appointment of a conservator shall remove from the ward the power to:

(1) Make, modify, or terminate contracts, other than the power to contract marriage;

(2) To buy, sell, or otherwise dispose of or encumber property;

(3) Enter into or conduct other business or commercial transactions;

(4) Revoke a revocable trust established by the ward; and

(5) Bring or defend any action at law or equity, except an action relating to the conservatorship.

(b) The mere appointment of a conservator does not revoke the powers of an agent who was previously appointed by the ward to act as the ward’s agent under a durable power of attorney for health care, health care agent under an advance directive for health care, or mental health care agent under a psychiatric advance directive.
