Excerpts from the blog: Guardianship Gulag (very informative, check out this blog)

 

Whatever happened to the lawyers who "zealously" advocate the wishes of their clients.

Most attorneys seem to equate "guardianship" cases with leprosy_ untouchable. If you have $20,000 or more remaining, an attorney may take your case; that has nothing to do with the outcome. Contingency does not exist for guardianship. Public interest law groups will not ‘touch’ it.

"Bar" Attorneys, as they call themselves, are lazy creatures, who want to handle "boiler plate" approaches, a sort of a prefab, that makes them appear as if they know what they are doing, and then they do not have to do anything except collect the money. There is something more than wrong where they get paid if they fail, and such, the more they fail, the more they make!

There are different schemes for the rich and the poor. It involves the profound loss of freedom, and your very dignity, then ultimately your life.

According to commonly accepted standards, Guardians are supposed to "carry out the wishes, preferences, and values of the ward," but in reality, it is much different and certainly not what was intended by the individuals.

 

 

So called "licensed" clinical "social workers," are trained to tell you just what you want to hear, and then do the exact opposite, even their smile it is tainted and only there to deceive.

 

Misrepresentation is supposed to be prohibited! You walk into a "one way street" courtroom, and converse with a "judge" only to be immediately declared "incompetent," which is a pure and utter "death sentence." It is really hard to sue when you are dead! They know that. It is difficult to document the patterns of neglect, the mistakes in medication and other deficiencies like over-medication and mis-prescribing of the doctors and so forth, because virtually all the victims die within months. Consequently, no one knows exactly how widespread the problem really is

In "family court," "un-substanciated accusations" pass as "claims," which are submitted by trained professional attorneys based solely on "inadmissible evidence," and of course, without any witnesses and certainly always without the requirement of Law of two "diagnoses" from doctors.

The Law is an impenetrable thicket, where the courts are a "bottomless pit" where not only the "quality of life" is lost forever, but life itself is taken in a skillfully woven "case."

The Guardianships are delivering "care" with no certification, what-so-ever. In this unregulated environment, the potential for real abuse is so ever-present. Monitoring of the Administration of Guardian's guardianships remains nil to none. They appoint their own financial agent... there own social workers... there own controlled psychiatrists and on and on. The Guardians record as to rehabilitation at absolute zero, everyone is killed "on time," no on survives. There is no doubt that the very system that is supposed to be protecting them really ends up abusing them

 

They drug the victims rather than treatment for the illness as Negligence Extraordinare? The underlying ailments are not treated and psychotropic drugs are exchanged for the needed medicine. The "Nursing Home Inspection System" is corrupted. It is becoming more and more apparent that the survey and certification process, is also seriously corrupted. State inspectors understate the existence of serious "quality-of-care problems" like substandard care and questionable business practice(s).

Surveyors state that complaints are rarely interviewed thoroughly and the survey process itself, upon which we rely for accurate, objective and independent data, has been corrupted and we need to restore the integrity of the system if possible. The "assisted living facilities" are also "seriously corrupted," with state inspectors pressured to overlook or downplay problems.

Inspectors are "routinely instructed" to downgrade or ignore violations and told to rewrite their reports so the facilities' coming out looking better than they really are.

The system is broken.

Guardians are not, no ordinary thief, they think, your television -looks better in their living room; these guys -take everything... the house... the cars... the valuables... the bank account... your bank numbers... the jewelry... even the phones off the wall... everything, right down to your very address, permanent phone number and ID... not a scrap is left.

Judges are too often biased and self-serving. It places the "best interest" decision squarely in the hands of a judge without first according the wards own best interests? Need medical treatment(s)... 'go to court," need therapy... "go to court," where a merciless judge alone has the right to decide and there are "no emergencies in the law"... you die waiting!

Why is there no neighborhood outcry? You can hear the cries, over and over always the same: "How can they do this to me under the guise of Public Administration?" Then of course: "This is America,... these things do not happen in America!" Naturally they are perplexed and even angry, with the sudden loss of ones independence and the ensuing endless struggle to "win" it back.
