Guardianship Abuse Case Reports Book and Blog Guardian Abuse Cases

Guardianship abuse committed by private guardians against senior citizens is destroying families and costing tax payers billions of dollars. Seniors who played by the rules will grow old. Sometimes the aging process creates the need for assistance in handling personal affairs. At this time of vulnerability a private guardian is asked to help. Unfortunately for seniors and their families, the private guardian will view the family situation as an opportunity to steal. Seniors and their families have reported that private professional guardians double bill, submit false documents and statements to both state and local courts, isolate seniors from family members and provoke fights between relatives so the guardian can use the conflict as an opportunity to increase their billings against the estate.

Numerous courts have chosen to ignore private guardian complaints. For decade’s law enforcement, police and members of the medical profession rationalize guardian complaints as simply a minor family squabble, which will resolve itself after the passing of the senior family member. Private guardians make their living off of this misconception by the authorities. When confronted with wrong doing, the guardian will often blame the family, the senior they have been hired to protect or decide to simply not respond to questions. Some courts have actually allowed a guardian to sue family members for asking a private guardian to account to a family for how they handled an estate. In many family courts judges simply won’t follow the law if the regulations are inconvenient for a guardian.

One private guardian, Patience Bristol, who is a resident of Nevada, is now serving three to eight years in state prison for exploiting the elderly and disabled. Bristol filed for bankruptcy in 2005 and her filing didn’t stop her from becoming a private guardian. Ms. Bristol used senior estate funds to gamble in Las Vegas’ many establishments. Another Nevada guardian is currently under police investigation awaiting indictment.

Courts throughout the United States report they are under staffed and as such are not in a position to enforce the guardianship laws now on the books.
