Tonight on T.S. Radio: Guardianship Abuse - New Laws Coming to Protect the Predators

Marcia Southwick joins us this evening to discuss new laws being promoted in several states claiming to reform predatory guardianships, perpetrated by professional predators operating through and with the probate courts.

As an example: SB 634 from Florida, sponsored by Senator Brandes appears on the surface to deal with the failure to submit timely audits of the victims estate. A careful reading of the opening paragraph, lines 1-32 makes clear that this new statute would apply only to NON-Professionals....in other words, family members or anyone not working in a professional capacity in guardianship.

Anyone not working under protection of the probate court, the BAR Association, The National Guardianship Association or any other association that operates as a protection racket for professional predators.

This should be a revealing discussion on what is intentionally omitted from bills, what is written to appear as a major change when in fact it is nothing more than a furtherance of protection for those gaming the system while targeting families and friends.

We will take calls in the second hour. 5:00 pm PST … 6:00 pm MST … 7:00 pm CST … 8:00 pm EST

So Senator Brandes is not trying to help us at all. If this bill were to pass, then it would enable the probate vultures to more easily take over guardianships from the non-professionals the very minute they are late with a report or fail to meet any sort of vague accounting entry. Could it be that Brandes is just one of the bad guys pretending to look good? He is from Pinellas County, Fl; a very major hot spot for guardianship abuse/human trafficking...When I read the proposed bill, I was quite perplexed and rather upset he wrote it without including the professional guardians. Now, a story begins to unfold. You see...Brandes was supposed to be pissed off over the Willie Bercheau case. That's why he jumped on getting laws changed. Yet if that's true, why didn't he focus on the laws relating to falsely determining incapacity as in Willie's case? Maybe Brandes, Judges Jack St. Arnold, professional guardians Patricia Johnson, and Teri St. Hilaire are all drinking buddies on the golf course together...

Till charges are filed for the criminal acts they commit nothing will change no matter how many laws you add to the books and we already have enough now to protect it if they were upheld and honored

I wouldn't say that Brandes isn't trying to help. It could be simply that the wording of the bill is flawed. I think with tweaking it would be a good bill. But right now, it's a bust. My guess is that an assistant bill writer wrote the legalese.
