Warning to Baby Boomers: Whatever you do - don't put your parents into guardianship - it is one of today's tragedies. Guardians are raiding the asssets of the incapacitated, with court permission!
Keep peace within the family to avoid forced guardianship.
I hope CT NASGA members can attend this seminar and speak up to the problems of conservatorship abuse.
Judge Joe Egan should be discussing guardianship and how it family disputes should be solved outside of the court so as not to open up the door for a lifetime sentence of guardianship.
Hello. I definitely agree that such seminats should be attended by many people. As a realtor I visit many homes and I can see the problem of "sandwich generation" in many families, people just don't talk about it. So I'm really appreciate that such seminars take place.
Wishing all the best,
Elli
