Schuyler Arc to host guardianship, estate workshop
Planning for guardianship no doubt.
ReplyDeleteOur trouble started with a "free" workshop at a senior center. My father-in-law ended up with a predatory trust.
ReplyDeleteBEWARE!
I have heard exactly that, Anonymous 2. The free workshops come with a free dinner (usually a good one, too) -- and then they hook 'em.
ReplyDeleteBEWARE is right.
ReplyDeleteThis is a hunting party folks: lawyers + finanical advisors = prey for the predators.
What will happen here folks is to gather up vulnerable, needy, elderly folks with ASSETS and property; these predators will get a look at their marks, their targets, get contact information, gain their trust, they will even find out about family relationships, any children? where the kids live, friends? neighbors? You know the routine.
Do you think these people will work for FREE?
FREE lunch? I would rather eat dirt and be running for the safety of the tall grass and get out of Dodge.
Conveniently, after they give their speech about how hard it is for caregivers, they'll be there to persuade people that guardianship is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteHunting Party with a free lunch is a good description anon. Everywhere there are scouts, headhunters looking for clients, prey, for the predators. Sorry for those who feel they are above being called predators / hunters, they have titles and position, financial advisors, lawyers, bankers etc. As far as I'm conerned the only reason these people do what they do is for MONEY! And, their goal is to get YOUR money while you are alive thereby heading off your heirs etc. Name of the game I call it like I see it and what I see is rotten so my suggestion is: spend, spend and spend it all cause if you don't someone else will spend it for you.
ReplyDeleteI went to one of those free dinners (at a fine Italian place) one time -- just to get the dinner! It was on investing. Anyway, they are soooo very convincing. Very smooth and friendly...
ReplyDeleteI wondered how many victims fell prey.
