Question if I may..probably needs a legal answer.. He was appointed her guardian. He was also, at the time, her husband. Does Florida law require a guardian in the case where it is a spouse, to file the annual fincancila reporting forms with the court?. It would seem that any court reviewer would have at leatst questioned the huge $$ expenses made supposedly on her behalf to lawyers, as opposed to her care. So who was the legal reviewer, and which judge apppointed him, and thus has given him considerable fees over the years?

Yes I believe it does, but from what we've read, Michael is habitually delinquent in his filings, which Greer has chosen to ignore.

I don't know that there was any independent court reviewer - no doubt others would be able to answer that and your other questions more accurately.

I do know, however, that Greer ruled to authorize the use of Terri's medical fund to pay legal fees, which was done to the tune of approximately 62%, near as can be estimated. By Felos' own admission, he and one of his colleagues got close to half a million dollars over several years (he was retained in 98 and claims to have not been paid for the past 2 years), and Felos was only retained to represent Michael in his efforts to have Terri's feeding tube pulled, so his representation has had nothing to do with oversight of the medical fund. At any rate, there's only 50k left, according to a recent article about the expenditures.
