"Dirty Tricks of Guardianships ‚ The Need for Change."
by Robert W. Melton, Chief Auditor, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Pinellas County

Pinellas County Internal Auditor Robert W. Melton recently lectured at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg on: "Dirty Tricks of Guardianships ‚ The Need for Change."

Here are just 10 of the "dirty tricks," as outlined by Pinellas County Internal Auditor Robert W. Melton:


1) Guardian creation of a trust: Remove all oversight by the court as a provision of the trust agreement; guardian becomes trustee; provide that the trustee can do whatever they want at their sole discretion.

2) Sell real estate at lowball price: Use "lowball" valuations as a benchmark; don't list property with Realtors; sell to a land trust, where nobody knows the beneficiary; watch property resold a few months later for a huge increase.

3) Maximize your (or your crony's) profit from investments: Hire money manager for "financial expertise" and let the manager select an investment broker; invest in volatile stocks and trade frequently to generate commissions; if you run up a large gain, don't selectively liquidate over time to pay the taxes but hold a "fire sale" to raise funds all in one day.

4) Undervalue beginning inventory: Have a used-furniture "friend" value a house full of antiques for $3,000; "forget" to put some of the more expensive items on the inventory; "forget" to include a $40,000 certificate of deposit.

5) Pay yourself first: Make payment of guardian and attorney fees the highest priority; disregard mortgage payments and let ward's home go into foreclosure; squirrel away money in the attorney's escrow account for possible future expenses.

6) Maintain guardianship at all costs: Keep family members uninformed; if family members try to become guardian, accuse them of stealing; use the ward's assets for legal fights to retain guardianship.

7) Improper financial reporting: Bury asset-management and brokerage fees as aggregate capital losses "due to market fluctuations"; don't classify disbursements separately; file incomplete or incorrect safe-deposit box inventories.

8) Forced incompetency: Visit assisted-living facilities and establish employee contacts; obtain voluntary limited financial guardianship; if there is money in the estate, do paperwork to force an evaluation of competency; get control over everything and the ward loses all rights.

9) Pay your attorney well: Let attorney bill full rate to shop for a computer and set it up for the ward; let attorneys bill their full rate, even if work is done by a paralegal or assistant.

10) Forget to file federal tax returns: Ensure there is a refund; wait till the ward dies; get check without oversight.

ALERT: We spent ALL DAY Monday lobbying Governor Jeb Bush
and a dozen Florida legislators, trying to get those state
Senators to change their minds and vote FOR the new
legislation that could save Terri's life once and for all.
Click here to see pictures of our time running around all
over the capitol building in Tallahassee:

http://www.rightmarch.com/fl1.htm

It felt like beating our heads against a brick wall - but
that wall may be crumbling. We could finally TEAR DOWN
THAT WALL on Wednesday, but we need YOUR HELP NOW.

We just need THREE state Senators to change their minds and
vote with us to save Terri Schiavo's life. And we heard
rumors today that two of the people on our list of ten
targeted Senators are possibly going to do just that. They
may just need a "gentle nudge" to make up their minds.

We need EVERYONE READING THIS EMAIL to call the following
Florida state Senators RIGHT AWAY, and ask them to do one
simple thing:

"HAVE MERCY ON TERRI SCHIAVO -- PLEASE VOTE
TO SAVE TERRI'S LIFE TODAY."

That's all we're asking you to do. Just call ten state
Senators -- or as many as you can -- and ask them to have
mercy on Terri.

TAKE ACTION: Call these ten Senators NOW:

Larcenia J. Bullard
850-487-5127

Walter Campbell, Jr.
850-487-5094

J.D. Alexander

>If they really didn't want to "be involved in family matters" there would not be a Department of Children and Family Services, nor would there be divorce courts. Liars! They want to run our lives from birth to grave.<

My neigbor has a child with emotional, developmental problems. Right now, the family is faced with losing custody (and I am DEADLY serious) if they tell this child to trust Jesus, or to pray! The social service and psych people say the boy (he's 14) could be made worse by religion. They've been threatened over and over with loss of custody, and placement in a foster home for this boy.

Don't EVER tell me the government and judicial system "wants to stay out of family matters" Horse Pucky!

[bjs1779]

No, it would put them in contempt of court.

So? Sure would make the American people know just what kind of thugs these people are. What parent wouldn't give their daughter water?

[Wampus SC]

"btw.. have you peeked in on Free Republic's very own Michael Schiavo fan club thread? "

Oh, them. That they can use baiting and trolling tactics with impunity damages the reputation of FR with the public.

Those cheerleaders for killing have blood on their hands as surely as any HINO or evil judge.

[tutstar]

And let's not forget that Richard LaBelle is in charge of the Florida Pooled Trust in his capacity as Disability Advocate for the State.

[Velveeta]

Does anybody else besides me think that it just might be a GOOD idea to get arrested for doing just that - giving water to their daughter?

Very interesting.

If it was me and my daughter, I'd hold water in my mouth and kiss my daughter....often

[floriduh voter]

Hospice owes the IRS 14 million dollars. They have Terri by the nurse's station. If anything bad happens to Terri, THEY WILL BE SHUT DOWN BY THE U.S. CONGRESS. guaranteed. They will go to prison. The police are disgusting but I heard that one cop on duty there cried the other day. The police are guarding Terri with the door open - if Michael tried to hurt Terri, I'm thinking the cop is guarding Terri either way, I hope so anyway.

That's why it's so important to EXPOSE ALL THE CORRUPTION AND COVERUP. We aren't conspiracy theorists with no lives. WE HAVE BEEN TELLING THE TRUTH ALL ALONG.

Let the truth set Terri free before the hemlockers pop champagne corks if they succeed in making an example of Terri and they will also be killing Terri's mom and dad if Judge Greer MURDERS HER IN COLD BLOOD.

[tutstar]

Can anyone in the area tell me anything about the THE PARAGON INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCEMENT THROUGH EDUCATION & TECHNOLOGY, INC.

I'm trying to find out what kind of group it is, whether related to disabled, poor, what do they do?

[Velveeta]

Did I hear correctly that the Schindlers are strip-searched before visiting Terri?

[Terriergal]

Elaborate....? Then why are they doing this to her?

[Pepper777]

I understand why you think HINO Michael should be charged with adultery. However, the crime of importance is the evidence of attempted homicide, on Feb 25, 1990.

I listened to Bobbie Schindler last night on Hannity. He told the story over again of NO INVESTIGATION into possible crime of 1990.

If Terri ever gets a real hearing from a REAL COURT, there are several who should be charged with attempted MURDER BY STARVATION.

[Terriergal]

Did I hear correctly that the Schindlers are strip-searched before visiting Terri?

Her dad said "practically strip searched"

[floriduh voter]

I am not seeing Hannity today. Please guys, contact Hannity yourselves. I will be at choir tonight trying to sing while worrying if Terri is still alive or not. She is suffering today, folks. Her skin is hardening. Her lips are parched.

[texasstar]

WAY TO GO, TRUTHSETSUFREE.

FIGHT FOR TERRI AND THE HELPLESS VICTIMS OF WOODSIDE!!

[TruthSetsUFree]

FAX sent.

[Terriergal]

He told the story over again of NO INVESTIGATION into possible crime of 1990.

Yes, and a FOUR YEAR statute of limitations on attempted MURDER? How is that possible?

[Graymatter]

Governor Bush should understand by now. This is no time to be a lobbyist. This is time to be a leader, a governor, and a man.

[bjs1779]

If it was me and my daughter, I'd hold water in my mouth and kiss my daughter....often

I think the Bush brothers would also be extremly embarrassed to have parents being thrown in jail for trying to give their daughter a drop of water - on national news!

[pollywog]

That the Lord would render the Clintons, and ALL their minions, totally powerless and nameless and faceless and useless and voiceless and homeless and penniless, such is their evil, and that he would strip them bare before the world, leaving only their immortal souls, and it is for these souls I pray ...

Yes,Pegita. I believe you have said this so well.
