Victims of Guardians

THE PROBLEM WITH GUARDIANSHIP -
(This site was launched due to an unlawful guardianship experience in NY State, but is fairly typical of corrupt guardianships/conservatorships across the country.)

Some people have described it as a "bounty hunting" operation, with headhunters running computer searches for financial and personal data on potential victims who wind up in a hospital and transfer to a nursing home (whether by reason of illness or even just a fall on the sidewalk).

The nursing home lawyer or someone else then petitions for a guardianship. The assigned judge then distributes his patronage to his pals, in the form of fiduciary appointments as guardian, court evaluator, counsel to the AIP, etc.

Would it shock you to learn that there is no requirement in New York for mandatory counsel to represent a person believed to be incapacitated? It won't when you read on. Many adjudication "hearings" are held which are totally sham, replate with constitutional due process violations, and conducted in complete contravention of statutory protections promulgated by the states, and practice rules issued by the courts.

Who's supposed to watch the guardians?
The judges.
Who's been watching the judges?
NO ONE!

Is that a money tree?
And a guardian grabbing the money while the judge looks the other way?

Money tree with the wards assets and income for the guardians and conservators. This speaks volumes - is anybody listening?

This is a great website for information on NY guardianships.

There are many, many NY victims.

Yes, the money tree logo is perfect! It's exactly what they do -- the guardian shakes the money tree and lines his pocket while the judge looks the other way.

Perhaps the judge is also waiting on his/her cut.

Pay to play is the name of the game. These people are the players and we are the ones supplying the goodies.

You bet the judge is benefiting in some manner: cash, favors, campaign money, the list of graft is endless.

Aint it the truth? Judges are supposed to be watching guardians, but instead, they've formed an alliance in many cases. And who's watching judges?

Just like Victims of Guardians says, no one!
