How likely is it for a judge to give conservator-ship to an individual that doesn't live in the same state as the conservatee?

It depends very much on your suitability as conservator, your availability and means to travel,and on the potential of other candidates who may live closer.

Conservator-ship is more often based upon the degree of kinship of the individual. The preference for family relationships is legally over-ridden by a will or power of attorney if it is already in place. For example, if someone has a power of attorney name a long time friend to the role, this can override conservator-ship request by a sibling.
