I have no idea where the money went...But.. He should be held accountable for it's whereabouts: and if he can't, that is reason for dismissal of guardianship.

IS A GUARDIAN ACCOUNTABLE?

Yes. Guardians must be represented by an attorney who will serve as "attorney of record." Guardians are usually required to
furnish a bond and may be required to complete a court-approved training program. The Clerk of the Court reviews all annual
reports of guardians of the person and property and presents them to the court for approval. A guardian who does not properly
carry out his or her responsibilities may be removed.

Following the money
The jury responded to his protestations of love and awarded $1.2 million to Terri for her medical and nursing expenses and $630,000 to Schiavo for loss of spouse. She also received a further $250,000 settlement in a case filed on her behalf against another doctor. After the attorneys received their cut, Terri was left with $700,000 and Schiavo with $300,000. Her share of the settlement was placed in a trust fund and invested in blue chip stocks, U.S. Treasury bonds and a money market account. It was to be managed by a bank and guarded by the court. In April 1993 her assets were valued at $776,254.
Her trust fund remained relatively intact until 1997, when Schiavo hired Felos and others began – with court approval – to dip into Terri's trust fund. Most of it went for legal costs.
According to the St. Petersburg Times, which investigated the matter in June 2001, by April 1998, her money was down to $713,825.
At Schiavo's request, Greer ordered all financial billings sealed, but payments are public record. The SP Times estimated that almost half the trust fund was gone, with only $350,000 remaining.
Greer later approved a payment of $45,007 to Felos, covering a five-month period ending February 2002. Including that payment, Felos had by February 2002, billed for $352,211 from Terri's fund. Other lawyers, too, helped drain the account – in particular, Deborah Bushnell, who received just under $50,000 between September 1993 and September 2001.
It's not certain how much of the money intended for Terri's rehabilitation remains. Felos told the Philadelphia Intelligencer that a few months ago only $50,000 was left. He said the money ran out last July and he hasn't been paid since. Terri's medical care at the Woodside Facility is now paid for with federal tax dollars through Medicaid, he said.
Court records show Felos' fees came to about $400,000, according to the Philadelphia Intelligencer.

Every little peice of dirt freepers were able to get on felos, schiavo, greer, and the mistress were on this thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/971896/posts

but the thread is over 5300 posts long. If anyone can wade through that, there is a TON of info, even including how much money their house is worth. That thread has more dirt in it than the carpet in my apartment! (and i have a toddler and a crawler who are messy eaters!)
