A probate judge dissolved the guardianship that controlled a songwriter's finances while he was addicted to crack. But the judge made no apologies for setting up the guardianship to begin with.The guardianship has managed his financial and legal affairs for the last three years. The musician's brother became Danny's conservator when Danny was admittedly addicted to crack cocaine. Danny Tate said he is now clean and sober.
Circuit Judge Randy Kennedy ruled that songwriter Danny Tate no longer needs a conservator. The judge gave Danny's brother David, the conservator, 60 days to account for how the money expended has been spent.
During the conservatorship, Danny Tate's bank accounts dwindled to nothing. He's not only paying his own legal fees, he's paying the lawyers his brother hired.

oh thanks judge why do i have this suspicious feeling that Danny didn't need a guardianship from the get go?
No apologies, Judge? Could that be because it wasn't happening to you?
And what gets me is "they" (lawyers and judges) can't quite understand how they and their profession has become fodder for late night TV.
Judge Randy Kennedy is one of the reasons.
Now it's time for the Judge's to be taken away .......
for exploiting the very people he was supposed to protect.
Judge Kennedy's case files MUST be audited and reviewed by federal authorities.
I have a feeling the feds will be needing new extra large capacity calculators.
Their efforts will be worthwhile.
