Morphology
conservatorship = conservator (transparent) = conservator + ship
Formed by adding the common suffix '-ship' to 'conservator' to denote the office, status, or responsibility associated with a conservator.
Etymology
Conservatorship comes from conserve, which means 'to keep' or 'to protect', and the ending -ship that shows a role like in friendship. So a conservatorship is the role someone has when a court asks them to keep and protect another person's money and personal matters because that person cannot do it themselves.
