Dear Readers;
I sat in a car yesterday to pick up my kids at college, which took about 6 hours, and have some fun them. This Holiday Inn has high speed internet, so that is great (soon as I figured out how to diagnose and fix it!). This is what I drafted up during the car sit. These were the questions I had about the case.
BUT Requests to Admit are a fun tool to use. I saw that Gloria had some in the file and they were apparently filed but unanswered. If that is the case, then they have been deemed admitted by operation of law, other than the fact I think that the court might have told Gloria she has no standing to file anything, which makes no sense since there is a provision in the Probate Act that any interested party can file a Petition to Remove the Guardian, and even just a note. Well, as any attorney knows, the only way to really do a good job at that is to file pre-discovery before filing such a document.
But I don’t know, and I looked at the Probate Cases and I couldn’t find any Illinois cases that talk about how a daughter is not entitled to file something, or serve pre-filing discovery, or anything like that. It just sounds like more AS and CF intimidation against Gloria.
Now that more than one year of pleading have been filed, the pattern of ignoring, snubbing and making Gloria out to be some sort of false pariah in the case when she really has done nothing bad at all–except take excellent care of her mother for 10+ years, I guess it’s just business as usual for those guardians, because once the house is sold, they get paid. Carolyn thinks her Trust is valid and she gets all the money and needs no reporting to anyone.
So read on below.

35. PS has never informed the court it has been acting without jurisdiction since Dec 2009.
36. HW has never informed the court it has been acting without jurisdiction since Dec 2009.
37. A competent attorney would have promptly brought this issue to the court’s attention promptly after having been discoveed.
38. KD and Gloria have been repeatedly informing you that the Probate Court is acting without jurisdiction.
39. HW has admitted that no 14 day notices were timely served on sisters Yolanda and Josephine prior to the hearing appointing CT.
40. HW has admitted on the record that no 14 day jurisdictional notices were timely served on Gloria prior to the hearing appointing CT.

49. When AS filed a petition for sanctions against KD, both GAL’s knew he never had appeared in the Probate Court.
50. That the filing of ARDC complaints against KD and JMD for expressing opinions on a blog constituted a violation of the Illinois CPA. 735 ILCS § 110 et. Seq.
51. As a GAL, the filing of that ARDC complaint against KD brings liablity to the estate.
52. A GAL that brings liability to a ward’s estate should immediately report it to the court and be removed.
53. The reason why AS was not sanctioned by the the Probate Court for filing a false Petition for Sanctions against KD is because the court is wired–or it sure looks like it.
54. AS filed a Petition to Disqualify JMD as counsel for Gloria because as CF said JMD will assuredly “paper me [meaning the GAL’s to death].”
55. JMD accordingly became the subject of a Motion to Disqualify (“MTDQ”) filed by AS and endorsed by CF because she is a competent attorney.
56. CF and AS knew that the filing of a MTDQ JMD was wrongful and in derrogation of well established law.
57. CF and AS misrepresented to the court they had sufficient grounds to file the MTDQ when in fact they did not.
58. That in Dec 2009 GS had filed a number of pleadings, and AS asked the court to strike all the pleadings of GS because she was pro se.
59. That those pleadings in Dec 2009 were in fact filed pro se and so there was no reason to strike those pleadings.
60. That only sleezy, underhanded attys pull such stunts mentioned in the two prior RFA’s.
61. That CF and AS meet the description in the last RFA.
62. That I am not surprised either one would pull such a low down stunt.

68. That Gloria’s care plan was more than adequate.
69. That while Gloria didn’t know the name of Mary’s one hypertension medication, she knew what a CBC was and the judge didn’t.
70. Most people know that a CBC is a Complete Blood Count or Blood Panel and it is an essential part of a regular physical.
71. One of the reasons the court trashed Gloria’s care plan was because Gloria lived upstairs and Mary lived downstairs at 6014 N. Avondale (“White House”).
72. CT has a two level home with a basement.
73. The court did not have a problem with the fact that Mary’s bedroom was on the second level and the other living areas were o the first floor of CT’s home.
74. Mary lost 10% of her body weight due to a sore throat that lasted a week before CT dropped Mary off with Gloria.
75. Mary subsequently required several trips to the emergency room which were not reported to the court.
76. Gloria recognized that something was very wrong with Mary and took her to the doctor the day Mary was dropped off.
77. That CT represented to the court that family would care for Mary during the day when she was at work.

82. That Dr. Amdur signed and submitted a report to the court indicating Mary was incompetent.
83. That Mr. Motckya, PsychD signed and submitted a report to the court indicating Mary was icompetent.
84. That you reviewed these reports and agreed with their accuracy.

100. That you have been told that valuables amount to X were found missing from the safe deposit box.
101. That you have not investigated the missing contents.

109. That KD and Gloria have repeatedly informed the GAL’s that Mary’s Trust is invalid because it violates the Statue of Uses.
110. That CT filed an eviction proceeding against Gloria based upon her position as ST under Mary’s Trust knowing that this trust was invalid for violating the Statue of Uses.
111. Because CT was not in fact the ST of Mary’s Trust, the eviction was wrongful.
112. CT’s wrongful eviction has created substantial liability upon the Estate of Mary Sykes.
113. CT also turned off the gas for the White House where Gloria was living in 2010, which in fact violated the CRLTO.
114. Because she violated the CRLTO, CT has brought upon the Estate a possible violation fine of $200 to $500 per day.
115. Because CT violated the CRLTO for several months, CT has brought upon the Estate a possible violation totaling more than $5,000.
116. Because CT violated the CRLTO for several months, CT has brought upon the Estate a possible violation totaling more than $10,000
117. AS and CF should have filed a Petition for the Removal of CT for shutting off the gas where Gloria was living based upon these violations of the CRLTO creating massive liability to the Estate.
118. Because AS and CF failed to remove CT for wilfully violating the CRLTO, they should have been removed as GAL’s.
119. In winter of 2010, PS called Chase, Gloria’s mortgage holder and told Chase the brown house was abandoned.
120. PS convinced Chase to “secure the property.”
121. Gloria arrived home one day to find herself locked out of the Brown House, her secuirty cameras were disabled and the security system disabled and tampered with.
122. Gloria arrived home to also find that interior walls in her Brown House were trashed, rendering the property completely uninhabitable–well beyond any remaining mold remediation.

124. When Gloria’s home was locked and trashed, the GAL’s were promptly informed and failed to investigate.
125. The GAL’s have told the Probate Court the Estate has a valuable interest in the Brown House and it should be partitioned.

128. That Gloria paid the mortgages on both homes for approximately ten+ years.

131. The GAL’s failed to investigate the severe destruction of the Brown House because they, as well as PS, desired to ensure Gloria was rendered utterly homeless for the purpose of intimidation.
132. The GAL’s failed to investigate the severe destruction of the Brown House because they, as well as PS, were operating in a wired courtroom.
133. The GAL’s failed for file a Petition to Remove Carolyn for violating the RLTO because they were operating in a wired courtroom.
134. On May 11, 2012, you informed the Probate Court that Mary’s $1 million in gold coins was “Gloria’s fiction.”
135. At that time, you did not inform the Probate Court how sister Yolanda could confirm Mary’s ownership of the coins and how they were in the safe deposit box before CT drilled it out.

146. This original POA document was produced in court in December of 2009 and the court ignored it.
147. You initially told the court that this original POA document was a fake.
148. When it shown to you and the court and it was determined it was an original and valid, Judge Connors summarily invalidated the document, without findings or a hearing.
149. Judge Connors quipped it had to have been produced sooner–yet Gloria had mentioned it to her in several prior court status hearings and Gloria’s requests to effecutate this document were ignored.

151. That a person who can pass an Illinois written Rules of the Road test does not have severe dementia.

158. That 735 ILCS § 1401 provides in its pertinent part that an attack on a judgment must be brought within 2 years of the date of entry of judgment and therefore the Lumberman’s Settlement may no longer be attacked.
159. That Gloria’s funds were illegally frozen in 2009, and the wrongful freeze continued to the date of this pleading.
