Guardian abuse of seniors, their families and estates is a problem, which authorities have denied for decades. Private guardians are hired when a family has issues of dysfunction, the senior has no one to help them or the court decides a private guardian is needed.

You may have already heard that the GAO (Governmental Accounting Office) is studying guardianship abuse again. Their last study was in 2010 (see http://stopguardianabuse.org/gao-reports/) and they have called us wanting cases.
They are looking for guardianship abuse cases which closed from 2011 to present; and they are asking us to gather and submit them. They want the submissions to come through NASGA, so that’s exactly what we’ll do!
