92 year old woman who had been a successful real estate broker in San Francisco for many years, trips, falls and breaks her hip. This woman who lived in San Francisco for over 50 years was in good health, managed her own finances, had a savings account, no liens, paid all her bills and provided for her own needs.
The woman is taken to a local San Francisco hospital and it is determined that she needs hip surgery. After surgery, a hospital employee illegally obtains her medical records, a unauthorized doctor examines her and it is determined she needs to be in a conservatorship.
Probate attorney who is no stranger to this blog and a professional conservator with hundreds of cases in San Francisco somehow learn of the woman's situation and file for conservatorship.
The 92 year old woman was told she could attend the conservatorship hearing but no one showed up to bring her to the proceedings as was promised.
The 92 year old woman ends up in a low quality "retirement home" during which time the probate attorney and conservator spend her life savings. Finally, after nine long months, the court determines she does not need to be in a conservatorship.
However, her savings are gone and she has $30,000 in liens plus 5% per annum for the "professional" fees of the conservator and probate attorney. Woman states attorney and conservator's actions are despicable!
