I glanced over them earlier. They boilerplate guardian documents. Similar in every state. The oddest part was Gabby never refuted any of the accusation or her refutation was not included. I'll take a better look tomorrow when I can.

Two of the grandchildren are working together, but there was mention of a third grandchild in the court documents, IIRC.

If her estate is worth that much and there is a qestion of law or diversity of citizenship issues you could in all probabilty bump it up to district court. I don't want to say definantly, but you would have a good chance.

actually, I'm going to track down a flashlight and go try that trick. I hope he does kick at it, if so the family will have a new goodnight bedtime routine.

I've wondered about some of the same questions the others have raised. Please overlook structure. It's late and I'm somewhat tired. Just couldn't go to bed until I put this up for other opinions.

The Living Will terminology puzzles me a bit.

...my life should not be prolonged under the circumstances set forth below ....
(X) ...coma with no reasonable expectation
of regaining consciencious, or
(X) ...become in (PVS) ....etc.
...I direct the application of life sustaining procedures to my body:
(X) including nourishment and hydration.

I may be comprehending this incorrectly, Mae didn't mark the last choice to EXCLUDE. It seems to me that Mae was NOT directing it withheld or withdrawn or requesting she be permitted to die. And, in the absence of her ability to give directions, it is to be honored by family and physician. Whoever the guardian is, they should be bound as stated; even if Mae is unable to communicate her desires during her illness.

I could be wrong...I have been once or twice in life (LOL) Will all the more knowledgeable clairfy this for me 8;(

I then noticed her assets were stated as $7,400 (est). That total didn't reflect the $100K listed for the home in the listing, so I'd think it would be $107,400, not including any value of the unknown assets, possible insurance policies, etc. It could be of greater value. I feel like the '95 Chev Blazer is below market value; no idea as to book value. Just feel it is understated.

Adding the Personal Assets of $125,500 to the $107,400 Mae's estate as stated would be an est. $232,900. Beth being sole heir on her Will, would make me suspect her motives for all this "control" and the fight to remain guardian. I would think with this as a possibility and the fact that Mae was concerned Beth was mismanaging her monies, an investigation would be justified to determine Beth's ability to remain as her guardian. I'd think there would be a definate conflict of interests.

I'd think that Ken and Mae's siblings could raise that question and possibly petition for new guardianship and have a mutually appointed independent GAL.

I'm just happy she is receiving proper medical care and is back on the road to good health. You all have done a wonderful job helping to bring this about. I wish her many wonderful years ahead. Keep the faith !

Look forward to your thoughts.

I'm afraid that makes you one of the slower students. In which case, the court finds that you are "legally terminal." Your scheduled date for a dignified natural death by dehydration will be forthcoming in the mail. It's really no worse than getting a draft notice. -----

****

LOL!

"I have tried very, very hard to read that document, but so far the only conclusion I've been able to reach is that the typist needs to be declared mentally incompetent and made a ward of the state!"

Rather than post the original fax, someone tried to use a text reader to convert the fax, a graphic Tiff, file to text. Didn't work very well.

"I am converting it again into a web page format"

Why not just post the fax?

"Knew Mullinax was no good."

Looks like he saw possible guardianship slipping away, paniced and resorted to manipulating others.

"BS people can live in a hospice forever."

This particular Hospice is part of a much larger medical system and appears to be physically located in the hospital...there was all manner of medical abilities available.

Judge Boyd "It concerns me that people and so-called news agencies will print things that are not true or half-true and not bother to seek the truth. Please consider this in the future before you jump to conclusions you need to verify the story."

Some who attempt to "not jump to conclusions" are disruptors. LOL

"The court ordered that the three doctors evaluate Mae Magouirk within 24 hours (or as soon as possible) as time was of the essence."

Funny how the ASAP part got left out of all the accusations?

To be clear the report says "some" not all have engaged in questionable practices. This report was written almost 10 years ago.

Think it's true today in light of the possible lost of revenue from the gov't for non-compliance?

In the instance of Terri's Hospice, some of the questionalble billings that Medicare recieved were as a result of the actions by Aetna and their insurance practices not necessarily the Hospice.
