Here you can see some of the many probate blog workers informing the public on how probate is not a place to go without a lot of research and information.
from GJS:
Perhaps it’s time to republish the Mike Kellerman report from Press TV from two years ago…. it’s the same story and the congress people and senators we met with who promised to help, have yet to help.
at least it’s a good honest story.
One thing not mentioned in the story is how it is typical for a OPG or Plenary Guardian to grab hold of an estate, place a disabled in an expensive nursing home. Rack up attys fees from a Guardian ad Litem and a probate attorney for the Plenary Guardian, and fees for social workers, evaluators and other personnel, and over a very few years a paid up home and bank account can be drained $300,000 to $500,000 and then the elder is left indigent, and often in low quality nursing homes, or downright dangerous ones, or even on the street in rooming houses, eating out of soup kitchens. True stories abound.
As the population ages, they need to be aware this is not a good tactic for anyone.
It’s downright scary.
But good job, GJS, Tim Lahrman and others who did this video in front of the Dept. of Justice a while back.
