The legal dispute over the care of a 92-year-old businessman moved to the nursing home where he lives on Thursday. A probate judge held a hearing at The Manor at Elfindale, where John Q. Hammons lives, rather than the Greene County Judicial Courts Facility.The hearing was for a lawsuit filed in early March by eight friends of Hammons. The friends say Hammons' guardian, Jacqueline Dowdy, won't let them visit or call Hammons, even though they believe he wants to see them and is well enough to do so. The lawsuit seeks to have Greene County Public Administrator David Yancey appointed to be Hammons' guardian.
Public administrators handle the affairs of people who can't do it themselves and have no one else to do it for him. Hammons and his wife, Juanita, have no children, and Juanita Hammons has long been in a nursing home herself.
After the hearing on Thursday, Probate Judge Michael Cordonnier recessed the Case Management Hearing until 8:30 a.m. on April 7.

I'm afraid when the public guardian is appointed, the people who meant well will find out they've sold John Q. Hammons to the devil.

ReplyDeleteThey're trying to make it look like they're respectful of Mr. Hammons. The truth is the judge has already decided - the hearing is just a formality and a reason for the lawyers to bill the estate.
