I am sorry to read how you have been affected, impacted. I presume you are not alone.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly sums up our guardianship situation.
I am leaving out: The Bad and The Ugly
Today, I will dedicate my comments only to: "The Good"
Some readers will not be able to understand or agree with my comments about "The Good" but during and after our abusive guardianship of our loved one, I am extremely fortunate and grateful to have found and met many individuals who are worthy of praise; who stand out above others, who I am privileged and honored to know regarding our criminal and civil cases.
**a hard working, honest, sharp attorney and associates who worked very hard, were dedicated to all of our cases; they willingly donated months of their time for no charge.
** One county probate (estate) commissioner without his support and assistance, I would not be writing this comment.
** state's Attorney General and
** 2 Assistant Attorney Generals who prosecuted the criminal case.
** the team of dedicated Department of Justice investigators, the 2 special agents who are without a doubt the best of the very best.
** 2 honorable, fair circuit court judges who earned their impeccable reputations
** Victim Witness Coordinator who kept us avised and from coming unglued
These are a few of the many people who earned and deserve recognition as "The Good".
here is an excerpt I sent to an author on elder abuse:I cannot believe my fortune in finding NASGA--Guardian abuse was an unheard of term until I ran into a real live low life of a lawyer. Today is Easter Sunday in the Greek Orthodox Religion so I must be rising from the dead--dead of the pain of this unscrupulous lawyer supported and buttressed by the judges. Sounds familiar? it should-when I began to research I ran into the story of fomer Judge John L. Phillips from Brooklyn -NY who died last year --after DA Joe Hynes from Brooklyn and a pair of his pals-stole his 10 million dollars through shyster legal maneuverings. Ol' Joe is still in office, his buddy former Atty C.Vernon Mason handles one of his non-profs, and a lawyer that not only sexually harrassed me but stole my retainer and did nothing on a case, he eventually was permanently disbarred.
The "Court" (read his friend the Judge) assigned a lawyer-a smooth talking, criminal who tried to implant himself as my mother's representative payee on her Social Security to "satisfy" a bogus nursing home lawsuit,(when in fact the money was for him) I am the daughter, I went through a living hell,alone, fighting for mom who is now 93-years old and blind..I figured out that this Guardianship stuff was nothing but a new money stream in the world of guardianships and the power given to them by their judges (friends) , I have more right to my mother's assets than they ever could have, I take care of her.
I was bamboozled into signing her in a nursing home-and denied the process of taking her out--we ctually had to formulate a "raid on Entebbe" like commando family force to get her out, she has been out a year and we are still being harassed by the guardian ad-litem, as he snakes around our town, forwarding mom's mail to his office, (we sent a cease and desist letter) and copied her attorney who was supposed to sue the nursing home and since has dropped the ball--what a disgusting world the world of law,and courts how awful.
Hope your book succeeds, just wanted you to know that we the babyboomers will be dealing a lot with these guardians who get way with theft. All this talk about offspring stealing their parents money? is unjustified, better that it go to a family member than a crooked greedy lawyer. I myself have made it clear, my children can have any of my assets,it is not to go to a nursing home, it is not for lawyers--and most mothers feel that way, unless their child has been unkind.
Bottom line, aged people are the victims of the legal system who use their incapacity to steal their money protected by legislation. I have a tome of court papers, and proof of what I state,and ?it means nothing-the Bar ethics committee bought into this attorney's lies with prima facie evidence to the contrary.
All that I have to say again, is I know first hand of the evil of these lawyers, so I have in good standing written a will specifically outlining that any money I have if I become incapicitated is to go to my children,let them enjoy it--my 2 cents--
and I am still mad from the court case 2 years ago so I built this website and I am going to pour out the facts. www.latinosunitedagainstlegalmisrepresentation.webs.com
I don't think guardianship is close to Nazism, but I do think it feels like it to victims.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, it teaches us lessons we don't even want to learn.
Yes, exactly!

Thanks for the good thoughts, helensniece. You are right in that guardianship, despite how awful and debilitating it is, also makes us stronger.
ReplyDeleteWe look at life different because of what we've been through, but we're less likely to be pushed around. And, we're more protective. And we're wiser.
Guardianship does all that. It pulls the rug out from under our feet and never lets us stand up again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I am so sorry for what you are going through.
