Danny Tate is a successful singer/songwriter who was conserved in an ex-parte
hearing in Judge Randy Kennedy’s court in Nashville, TN. (Judge Kennedy is the
only probate judge in that county --- so all probate matters go through him.)
Danny wasn’t given notice of the hearing and Kennedy put him in a “temporary
conservatorship” --- a court-ordered hell (to quote an article that was written
about the case) that lasted for 2.5 years. Danny was “freed” in 2010 but not
really – the conservatorship has kept an ugly hold on Danny’s finances to this
day.It’s a "Ripleys Believe it or Not" type of case because not only did the conservatorship consume Danny’s over $2 mil estate, it plunged him into spiraling debt. Last year, the court ordered Danny’s home to be auctioned off to pay the ravenous lawyers – and guess who bought it? Danny’s own former lawyer – and at a very reduced rate.
Danny is unique because most victims of guardianship abuse are elderly and unable to speak up. Danny’s a walking, talking survivor – and he’s got a lot to say!
