Ohio Judge Robert O. Montgomery Tries to Change Guardianship System

Franklin County Probate Judge Robert G. Montgomery has long known there were problems with the way his court handled guardianships.

Montgomery, who became the county’s probate judge in January 2011, said he was shocked to learn soon after his arrival that a handful of local lawyers serve as guardians for more than 1,000 people. Montgomery wants to end that reliance.

A guardian is appointed by the court to make decisions for a person, known as a ward, who has been declared unable to handle his or her own affairs because of age, mental illness or disability.

Guardians wield considerable power over the lives of their wards, including deciding where they live, the health care they receive and how they spend their money.

Montgomery said he has been working for more than two years to find a better way to provide guardianship services in Franklin County. That plan took a big step forward this month when he got legislative approval to create a first-of-its-kind Franklin County Guardianship Service Board, which he intends to be a collaborative effort between the court and local charities and social-services organizations.

  2. Add Franklin County Probate Judge Robert G. Montgomery to my list of impressive people -- he saw the scheme who is running the courts who is profiting: a gang of lawyers oh what a surprise!!

    Now I have to ask what was in it for the judges who go along with business as usual?

    This is the missing link in why this is going on and follow the $ and the votes folks to the legislators who bend over to those in opposition to any change or reform or oversite or anything to mess with their big lotto: probate guardianship and estates.

    Special interest groups (hey that's not us we the people) lobbyists come out of the muck when they are alerted of any legislation that would take $1.00 out of their pockets.

    I could go on and on. I suggest following the NASGA blog on a daily basis for the real news people need and want to know.

    Now if only we could clone Franklin County Probate Judge Robert G. Montgomery I would be happy happy.

  3. Probate Cartel has the immunities and court protection of a public cartel although Probate Cartel is a private Cartel with Public Cartel protections with the judges with the rubber stamps approving the activities.

    Lesson #2:

    A cartel is a formal, explicit agreement among competing firms. It is a formal organization of producers and manufacturers that agree to fix prices, marketing, and production.

    [1] Cartels usually occur in an oligopolistic industry, where the number of sellers is small (usually because barriers to entry, most notably startup costs, are high) and the products being traded are usually commodities. Cartel members may agree on such matters as price fixing, total industry output, market shares, allocation of customers, allocation of territories, bid rigging, establishment of common sales agencies, and the division of profits or combination of these.

    The aim of such collusion (also called the cartel agreement) is to increase individual members' profits by reducing competition.

    VERY IMPORTANT AREA PUBLIC VS PRIVATE CARTELS:

    ****One can distinguish private cartels from public cartels.

    In the public cartel a government is involved to enforce the cartel agreement, and the government's sovereignty shields such cartels from legal actions.

    Inversely, private cartels are subject to legal liability under the antitrust laws now found in nearly every nation of the world.

    Furthermore, the purpose of private cartels is to benefit only those individuals who constitute it, public cartels, in theory, work to pass on benefits to the populace as a whole.

    Note: Guardianship is promoted as a system to protect the ward from harm to himself and/or others in addition a person can be guardianized if the state believes the person can be exploited all actions fall under: public cartels, in theory, work to pass on benefits to the populace as a whole.

    Competition laws often forbid private cartels.

    Identifying and breaking up cartels is an important part of the competition policy in most countries, although proving the existence of a cartel is rarely easy, as firms are usually not so careless as to put collusion agreements on paper.[2][3]
