Judges, attorneys, and professional fiduciaries ignore the laws enacted to protect the vulnerable. Many persons who are not incapacitated are hurriedly placed under conservatorships with no advance notice through the use of ex parte applications for temporary conservatorship. Once a temporary conservator/guardian is appointed, it is almost impossible to undo. By then it's too late. the attorneys and the fiduciary have control of your money and you have no ability to defend yourself from these predators. Financial motives rule this lucrative business, not the desire to help the vulnerable preserve their freedoms and assets.

The reality is corrupt judges and courts, greedy lawyers and a system of "injustice" that serves the people running it, NOT the people it is intended to serve. Once you are in the system it is almost impossible to get out. You are a "ward", and have less rights than a death row immate. I speak from personal experience, as my mother was in a conservatorship/guardianship for over 3 1/2 years. I am in the FoxTV report mentioned above, and sadly, it is all true! Please visit the NASGA website at www.stopguardianabuse.org, inform yourself, and avoid the nightmare of guardianship abuse!

Guardianship is ownership. A guardianship ward is stripped of all rights -- the right to decide where to live or who to be with, to accept or reject medical treatment, to spend (or save!) ones own money, marry, vote...and the most important right -- the right to complain. Guardianship wards find themselves exploited by their court-appointed "protectors" and it's all done legally. Hard to believe it's happening in America?
