Clearly this does not reflect actual facts and the situation you are referring to is quite different than you describe. Unfortunately we cannot disclose details that would violate the persons privacy but none of these accusations are accurate. When we are appointed by the courts to protect the assets of a vulnerable adult we often are at odds with those who benefited financially from their previous position and who have been replaced with independent decision makers who are accountable to the rest of the family and courts. Unlike your friend our actions and accounting are transparent to those involved and are focused in caring for the needs of the person and their property. In some extreme cases we end up referring to law enforcement for investigations of alleged criminal elder abuse and exploitation. You are welcome to contact us directly to discuss your concerns.

It's not unusual for people like your grandmother who need long term care to pay $40-60,000 annually, or more. Most people could not sustain that cost for more than few months or years at most. In cases like this where funds were depleted after several years of paying those high costs we assist with qualifying for Medicaid. Government programs like Medicaid do not provide for funeral services if they were not prearranged by the person or their guardian.

It's all too common for us to be involved as a neutral 3rd party appointee in the midst of high conflict between family members. Unfortunately dealing with those conflicts can be expensive and lengthy but we always work to find practical solutions whenever possible. It is a tragic but true statement that one difficult party can derail the resolution of conflict and cause the entire family to suffer the impact.

Unfortunately in situations with high conflict among difficult family members there can be significant costs due to attorney fees, legal costs, and administrative time involved. Those factors are beyond our control and are not caused by us. While we always do our best to work with families to preserve important items and liquidate property efficiently inevitably some things have to dealt with by donating or disposing them. In your case family members were given opportunity to claim dozens of items before anything was sold as part of their share of the estate. Ultimately, we were able to carry out the wishes of your grandparents and our accounting of the estate was approved by the court.
