Press Release: Serious Flaws Surrounding Maricopa County Probate Court

ABC15 Investigators: Greed v. Guardianship

The ABC15 Investigators have spent most of 2010 exposing serious flaws surrounding Maricopa County Probate Court. Families accuse the court of allowing victims to be isolated and heavily medicated while their assets are liquidated.

While these stories take place in probate court, they are really about families, Families torn apart, families devastated and families victimized.

Our investigation led us to a professional fiduciary called the Sun Valley Group (SVG). The company was guardian or conservator for the people in our reports.

After our first report aired, many people wrote us with their stories. As our report continued, we found that SVG is being investigated by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Organized Crime Unit. Then a taskforce was ordered by the Arizona Supreme Court to look into probate court.

Sunday, December 5th, The ABC15 Investigators expose even more powerful and disturbing information involving probate court. A Valley couple forced to divorce. Their home and belongings sold off by the very people trusted to take care of them. See inside their battle, and how some of these devastated families are starting to win.

shameful and a disgrace this out of control probate court needs to be investigated by the highest authorities with harsh consequences for actions and inactions guardianship is the biggest business in our country if anyone had a national database it would be possible to add it up i guarantee you the total amount of assets seized via probate court would be astronomical and most likely would need giant sized calculator to handle all the:
$00000000000000000's

Dear ABC News,

You heard from family and others who are able to 'talk' about their complaints.

Please think about those who cannot speak and consider those who are gone, deceased. You can give them a voice.

You are onto the them.

I can't thank you enough with simple words for all that you are doing to make this wrong ... right.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Very Sincerely,

One Who Knows

ABC MEDIA EXPOSURE IN ARIZONA PROBATE CORRUPTION

KUKDOS to ABC15 News in AZ!

The media can play a key role in ending corruption in the probate courts. As this probate corruption occurs within the judicial branch of government, it is extremely difficult to get law enforcement officials to prosecute because they get political and professional pressure to look the other way.

When media exposure occurs, light is shed on the crimes, the public becomes informed and outraged, and local attorneys general and sheriffs can no longer deny what is occuring.

Unfortunately, probate corruption is flourishing in Cook County, Illinois, as it is in Arizona. We have not, as of yet, been successful in obtaining media coverage.

We invite media coverage in Cook County, Illinois.

There are many victims who can share their stories, point you to the alleged wrongdoers, and help guide you on how to obtain information needed for an investigation. Many of the victims have all of their facts ready for your review.

See www.probatesharks.com, www.stopguardianabuse.org, and www.estateofdenial.com.


Caring media and law enforcement officials are invited to help us in our fight to save the lives and estates of the elderly disabled in Cook County, Illinois.
