It is not technically a requirement of being a conservator, but a court may use its discretion to not appoint a person who has bad credit, on the grounds that the bad credit reflects poorly on their ability to be a conversator and discharge the duties. The court will consider the facts or circumstances: how bad is the credit, why is the credit bad (e.g. did the person fall behind because of a life event, like job loss or major illness, or do they apparently generally make bad decisions), etc.
