Guardianship Services

In the case of Loren Stamm, the Court of Appeals reversed and remanded due to the erroneous admission of guardian ad litem testimony. Mr. Stamm was released from guardianship a short time thereafter. He continues to live with his wife in Kenmore, Washington.

It is undisputed that GSS submitted a false statement under oath to to obtain the discharge of Mr. Stamm’s attorney. In Kuvara, the attorney who engaged in similar conduct, was disbarred. GSS committed other breaches of duty, many of which are established as a matter of law. GSS’s fees should be disallowed in their entirety. Otherwise, the wrong message will be sent.
