OT elderly guardiansip abuse

Feb 26, 2018 7 Replies

As many of our members are now reaching older age, you may want to peruse numerous reports of how perfectly capable, old adults are stripped of all their rights, placed into unwanted and abusive "guardianships" of strangers, and then isolated, medicated and robbed by court appointed "private guardians" that are chummy with corrupt court officials. As the elderly issues are political backwater, they rarely surface, but when they do it is appalling to see how bad it is.



Even if you are not rich by any measure, say have a $300,000 nest egg, a court appointed guardian will feast on your money until you are bled dry, and then "withdraw" from guardianship. Your beloved relatives and children will be dismissed by crony judges as "greedy elder abusers".



A quick google search will find you good information about numerous cases.



Some links out of too many:

There are legal ways to protect yourself from an unwanted gaurdianship. Making your assets invisable and unavailable to the predators is important.

Best Regards Tom.

And how would you accomplish that? Any tips?

The simplest way is place your assets in a joint tennancy with a family member you trust. Second is a out of state bank account immune from your home states court orders (switzerland). Form a series shell corporations to place your assets in. A family trust. You realy need to talk to several lawyers for advise and decide whats best for you. Topic should be asset protection. You should also have legal directives in case you become incapacitated naming a loved one to act on your behalf.

Best Regards Tom.

Transfer assets to a trust, and name a successor trustee. It doesn't necessarily protect your care, but without access to the assets predators are less likely to pounce. While a trust doesn't protect against taxes (over a certain size) if it is quite large it can easily define succession. ie Who manages the trust.

Good news:

That is great news, though I heard comments that she did not pay enough to the right people.

Of course not. The wicked never do. Look at the Clintoons.
