Conservatorship Ward Wins Against Santa Clara County Public Guardian


Source: Elderly Woman Wins Case Over Public Guardian

ABC7's First Investigative Report:

We're told to protect our assets with things like living trusts and wills. But a case in Santa Clara County is raising questions about when our plans can be changed by someone else, possibly against our wishes.

In early February, 85-year-old Grace Alaimo was in a Santa Clara superior courtroom surrounded by people arguing over what she wants.

This is interesting. The Santa Clara County Public Guardian is under the microscope again and once again is found going against the wishes of their wards.

Are there any Santa Clara County legislators who aren't afraid to speak up and do something?

Really good news to see a victim come back and win.

I am so impressed with the work Dan Noyes and ABC have done in exposing the Santa Clara County Public Guardian.

This is what reporters are supposed to do - keeping the public informed.

Thank you ABC!

It's a miracle and a very nice one. The Santa Clara County Public Guardian has been riding too high too long. Innocent people have suffered and the Public Guardian has smirked. Now, what goes around is coming around to them and it's about time.
