VICTIMS OF GUARDIANS
(And Other Fiduciaries)

Who the Money Tree?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO LONGER THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
OF THE "JUSTICE" SYSTEM!


NATIONAL AND WORLD MEDIA ARE NOW ABUZZ WITH HORROR STORIES ABOUT THE WEALTHY - Astor, Evans, Helmsley, Phillips - AND NOT-SO-WEALTHY WHO HAVE BECOME VICTIMS OF GUARDIANSHIP (CONSERVATORSHIP IN SOME STATES) AND HAVE HAD THEIR ESTATES DEPLETED OR TOTALLY WIPED OUT AS A RESULT.

The Terri Schiavo case was all about unlawful "guardianship," with continuing coverup all through the courts. It is one of the very worst examples of what corrupt judges and unethical lawyers can do with the power of life and death in their hands.

DID TERRI HAVE TO DIE SO HER HUSBAND COULD INHERIT THE REST OF HER DAMAGE AWARD?

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, ISN'T IT?

These big-name well-publicized cases are finally shining the spotlight on little-known problems in these areas and getting the attention of Americans on this issue. Many lawyers write articles suggesting advance directives, including a Durable Power of Attorney ("durable," meaning it remains in effect after a person becomes incapacitated).


Question: But what if you wind up in front of a corrupt judge who ignores the grantor's wishes?
Answer: He can override any legal document executed by the AIP ("alleged incapacitated person.")

(Note: The person is only "alleged" to be incapacitated until they are legally adjudged to be incapacitated;
then they are described as the "ward." They are actually wards of the State.

Question: Aren't there any safeguards against that?
Answer: That's up to your state legislators and prosecutors. An honest judge will hold a full evidentiary hearing to determine the validity of the prior Durable Power of Attorney - the issue being whether the AIP was incapacitated at the time of execution. A corrupt judge will not hold any hearing; he/she will just ignore the Power, and sometimes invalidate (with a stroke of the pen) even a Last Will and Testament, putting all sorts of liberties in the hands of the fiduciaries.


Question: Why would a judge do that?
Answer: By unlawfully overriding the powers granted, he can then put his academic or political buddies into the guardianship, to make-work and feast on fees.


Question: What is the quid pro quo; i.e., what's in it for him/her?
Answer: That we will not know until the prosecutors start prosecuting judicial corruption in a meaningful way.


Question: Do you know what your rights are?
Answer: IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY!

THE GUARDIANSHIP PROBLEM IS NOT CONFINED TO ANY ONE STATE;
the UNLAWFUL PROCEEDINGS and resultant FEEDING FRENZIES
are rampant all across the country - anywhere there is money to be made!


Who gave lawyer-guardians a "License to Steal"?
The legislators did!
And they gave them a shocking list of powers -
including life/death decisions!

THE PROBLEM WITH GUARDIANSHIP -
(This site was launched due to an unlawful guardianship experience in NY State,
but is fairly typical of corrupt guardianships/conservatorships across the country.)
Some people have described it as a "bounty hunting" operation, with headhunters running computer searches for financial and personal data on potential victims who wind up in a hospital and transfer to a nursing home (whether by reason of illness or even just a fall on the sidewalk). The nursing home lawyer or someone else then petitions for a guardianship. The assigned judge then distributes his patronage to his pals, in the form of fiduciary appointments as guardian, court evaluator, counsel to the AIP, etc. Would it shock you to learn that there is no requirement in New York for mandatory counsel to represent a person believed to be incapacitated? It won't when you read on. Many adjudication "hearings" are held which are totally sham, replate with constitutional due process violations, and conducted in complete contravention of statutory protections promulgated by the states, and practice rules issued by the courts.

Who's supposed to watch the guardians?
The judges.
Who's been watching the judges?
NO ONE!
