More on Conflicts of Interest

The Notice of Conservatees Rights Form, GC-341, issued by the California Superior Court Judicial Council states that "when a person becomes a conservatee, he or she does not necessarily lose the right to take part in important decisions affecting his or her property and way of life.   Every conservatee has the right to be treated with understanding and respect and to have his or her wishes considered.  Every conservatee has all the basic human rights and the right to be well cared for by his or her conservator."

In addition, the conservatee "keeps the right to ask a judge to replace the conservator" and "ask a judge to end a conservatorship."

In fact, the Court has the right to appoint an attorney to PROTECT the CONSERVATEE'S interests.

My Uncle and I had the same attorney until about a week ago.  Our attorney was disqualified for, and I quote...

"The conflict arises due to the previous concurrent representation of Lori DeMartini and Paul DeMartini, clients with conflicting interests, and which calls into question the duty of loyalty to both clients."

ONE MORE TIME FOR THE RECORD...


My uncle and I DO NOT have conflicting interests

BUT...

there are conflicting interests between a conservator and a conservatee especially when it comes to Larry Siracusa, Bruce Feder and friends.

ONCE AGAIN...

How can the same attorney or even the same law firm represent both the conservatee and the conservator?  Wouldn't that be considered a...

CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

AND WHY...

does it happen every day in San Francisco's Probate Court?

Here are two examples on today's court calendar:
PCN-01-282660
PCN-07-290306

SO...


Let me make sure I understand...

Our attorney was disqualified from representing both my Uncle and I because of a conflict of interest fabrication regarding our representation...well, actually it was a blatant lie...yet Larry, Bruce and the merry band of thieves continue to do whatever they damn well please!

See my blog post....

"The Duties of the Court Appointed Attorney" dated July 4, 2011 and see all the ways  Bruce Feder, my grandmother's court appointed attorney, violated nearly everyone of my grandmother's rights!  Another post featuring this very same topic will be coming soon!
