Nobody will screw you out of money better than family.
Of course the elder-law advocates and attorneys claim that family are the biggest threat.
Why would they rat out one of their own? They don’t.
But the truth is guardians and their attorneys often abuse, neglect and exploit guardianship wards but too many times they are never held accountable. Guardians routinely force their victims into nursing homes so they can sell off real estate and personal belongings, converting to cash so they can over bill, double bill, downright fraudulently bill until all of the hard earned money and assets of the ward is in the guardians and attorneys pockets. Many victims are left penniless with broken spirits and failing health. Some victims do not survive as they are denied medical treatment and necessary medications. This is happening every day in our country. And it is a crying shame. The worst of it all, is a guardianship ward is stripped of all rights, including the right to complain about the abuse.
Any abuse of an elderly or vulnerable person is unacceptable. And this should include guardianship abuse. Please visit the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse at www.stopguardianabuse.org for more information about the epidemic practice of guardianship abuse.
