Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Probate and Estate Planning, Elder Law and Retirement Planning

Conservatorships for the Disabled. Infirm and/or Elderly: Lately, our office was engaged by a married daughter who resides in Idaho as she feared that her father, a resident in Mississippi near Memphis, aged 90 and recently widowed -- a fine, healthy man with a keen mind, who was awarded The Purple Heart for World War II -- was targeted by his neighboring six, adult step-children. Daughter discovered the six steps filed a Petition in Court to impose a conservatorship, involuntarily, on her father in order to "park him in drugged twilight" in a nursing home and, thus with Court approval, have access to his considerable assets -- home and furnishings, cash, retirement incomes, securities. Our office dropped all matters, had the adverse parties/stepchildren stopped at the hospital entrance by security, and thus prevented service of process on the elderly gentleman, who boarded the next plane to Salt Lake with a registered nurse/companion. The gentleman has recovered his spirits from mental abuse and is now thriving in the West with the TLC from daughter and friends. A Petition to appoint a Conservator is, generally, an expensive proceeding with lawyers and expenses being paid first, and once established in most states the disabled, infirm and/or elderly ward looses all rights, e.g., the right to vote, the right to contract, to sign checks, to choose his physicians and manner and place of medical treatment. Conservatorships can be avoided with proper, advance estate planning, far more beneficial and less expensive.
