Flowers

If flowers grow in Heaven Lord,
please pick a bunch for me,

Place them in my Noni's arms,
and tell her they're from Lori.


Tell her that I love and miss her
and when she turns to smile,

Place a kiss upon her cheek and
and hold her tight for just awhile.

The Truth About Tom...

Tom NEVER participated in family events.  Never spent time with my grandparents or my uncle.  My cousin, David, thought that my sister-in-law Sharon was his cousin because she, rather than Tom, came to all the family events with my nephews.

While I took care of my grandmother for 18 months, Tom stopped by less than six times. Each of those times he doubled parked out in front of the house and came in the house only to get money from me.  On the two occasions he did go up to say hello to my grandmother, I had to literally beg him to do so.  He stayed less than five minutes each visit.

My grandmother's upstairs sink leaked for three months.  Tom is a plumber...well he is actually a fitter.  There is a difference, you know...about $2 an hour.  I asked Tom on numerous occasions to come by and fix the leak.  Never did!  Had to hire a plumber.  The when the sewer line backed up, I again called Tom and was told to call a plumber.  He is a fitter and fitters do not snake drains.  That bill was over $500!

When Tom and his evil girlfriend Krissy kidnapped my grandmother and took her to exist in Millbrae, he charged her room and board and paid the evil one $1000 per week to care for my Noni.  During that time, her health deteriorated significantly according to her doctor of 20 years.  Too much Taco Bell?  Have the doctor's report to prove it.

Now, Tom portrays himself as the doting, caring grandson when in reality he is a narcissistic, greedy adulterer.  He's had an ongoing affair with his cousin for the past 20 or so years!

When Tom was a little boy, he thought clowns lived in the closet in his bedroom, I would rescue him from those clowns every night.

Tom lived with me for over 5 years during our adult lives.  Never paid rent.  Never offered.  I gave him money for his divorce lawyer, bailed him out of a paternity mess for $10,000, gave him money so that he did not lose his property in Clear Lake, paid my nephew's tuition on occasion, paid his bills, bought his groceries, made his lunches, paid the utilities, blindly defended him against anyone that would dare criticize....when I was told to choose even chose him over my ex-husband.

I never asked for anything in return.  Did not expect repayment of the money I spent on his behalf.  Expected nothing really....

...other than loyalty!
Prior to December of 2008, I thought Tom was the one and only person I could trust out of everyone else in my life.

Boy, was I dead ass wrong!  Should have just locked him in his room with the damn clowns!________________________________________________________________________

 
P.S.  Just one more thought...


When I first became the sole trustee of my grandmother's trust in September of 2008, I asked the attorney for the trust what my responsibilities were as trustee.  He replied:  "Just do what you think your grandmother would want you to do."

I was nervous about being the trustee, so I kept my Uncle Paul and my sibling, Tom, in the loop with regard to everything I did as trustee

Each time I spoke to the sibling about trust related matters, he told me this, and I quote...

"You're doing a great job, Lor.  Just keep doing what you're doing."

Speechless...

Well sort of..

We had a hearing today that did leave me speechless at first.  Now I am appalled, disgusted and even more determined to expose the probate conservatorship scam which is obviously endorsed by the Superior Court of San Francisco.

In a nutshell, the Judge approved the sale of my grandmother's house BEFORE hearing testimony from my grandmother's doctor of 20 years and the neurological specialist who examined my grandmother and diagnosed her with moderate to severe Alzheimers' dementia in September of 2009.


We have set out to prove that the changes made to my grandmother's trust after the original trust and will were drafted in 1992 were done so while she was incapacitated and subjected to undue influence.  We believe the doctor's testimony will support our claim.

Instead of waiting for the evidence, the Judge ordered that the house be sold even though it was my grandmother's intent and desire to leave the house to my Uncle Paul.

Appalling.  Disgusting.  Even more determined.

How do they sleep at night?  Ahhhhh, that cold hard cash must bring them such great comfort.

Despicable!

ASTOUNDING!  Siracusa, Feder and Friends
 monopolize the court schedule once again!

Just Can't Seem to Let This Go...

From November 2010 through April 2011, I tried desparately to convince the conservator of the person, his two attorneys, my grandmother's attorney and, of course, the powers that be, Liz and Larry, to allow my grandmother to go home after she was released from the hospital following her stroke.

Everyone following the blog knows that Katie never went home and that her worst nightmare became a reality.  She died in that horrific nursing home.


What I am struggling with is WHY they would not allow her to go home.

Everything I have read and everyone I have talked to including "real" professionals in the elder care field, unanimously support in home care.  Heck, Herb Thomas is now offering in home care as one of his menu items.

"there's no place like home....there's no place like home..."
I was doing some research today and found that one of the busiest conservators in San Francisco, who just happens to be yet another one of Larry Siracusa's clients, is the secretary for an in home care company whose motto is "There's No Place Like Home." 

This organization supports and encourages in home care.
If I could make sense of it, I might be able to let it go.  But, it makes absolutely NO sense at all!

Motion for Sanctions

In his latest court filing, what Brian McCaffrey failed to say,
Is that Lizzy Adler was a party to the mediation  that day.

McCaffrey claims Lori is delaying to avoid a court trial,
In reality, Lori has asked for her day in court all the while.

Perhaps, McCaffrey should think twice next time,
Because last I heard perjuring yourself is a crime.

Give Them Enough Rope, and They Will Hang Themselves

On July 21, 2011, The Conservator, Elizabeth Adler, filed the following:


"DECLARATION (FURTHER) IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR AUTHORIZATION TO
LIST AND SELL CONSERVATEE'S FORMER RESIDENCE AND FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO
EXCLUSIVE LISTING AGREEMENT WITH REAL ESTATE BROKER FILED BY PETITIONER ADLER,
ELIZABETH A"



After taking the time to review the latest "Declaration" filed by The Conservator, Elizabeth Adler, I have prepared a lie by lie, line by line, recap of her Declaration for your review....

First Lie:  Property must be sold to satisfy obligations of the Trust.
Thus far, everything presented to the Court is based on the allegations of Adler and her attorneys.  It has not been decided whether these actions were brought forward in the best interest of the trust.  The Trust has no obligations to Adler until she proves that she brought this action to benefit the Trust.

Second Lie:  Cash on Hand.  Since Adler has never submitted original bank statements, her representation of  cash on hand is presumed to be a lie.

Third Lie:  Adler states that Bruce Feder as "Court appointed Counsel" has a petition pending for $23,000 in attorney fees.  Bruce Feder was never appointed by the Court, however, a fraudulent court document has now surfaced.  Further, the court has not approved Feder's fees.  What exactly did Bruce Feder do to accumulate $23,000 in fees, Elizabeth, The Conservator?

Fourth Lie:  Emilie Calhoun has $72,000 in fees and costs.  In reality Emilie Calhoun has asked for fees in excess of $80,000.  Further, Emilie Calhoun, Thomas DeMartini's attorney, has attempted to bill the Trust for her services to Elizabeth Alder.  Also, why would Lori DeMartini pay for Tom DeMartini's legal fees in a case that was dismissed....innocent!  Case closed.  Nice try, Calhoun. 

Fifth Lie:    Adler claims that Lori owes $69,000 to Tom Huster her former attorney.  Lori owes $69,000 less the amount already paid.  Do the math Liz?

Sixth Lie:   "Adler states that there are additional costs of the pending financial abuse litigation to consider as well as ongoing fees......"  In October of 2009, this case was settled during court ordered mediation.  Adler brought the exact same case against Lori DeMartini 7 weeks later.  The mere thought that Adler has been defending the Trust is a joke.

Seventh LieAdler states:  "Simply put, there is just not enough personal property to satisfy the debts of the Trust."  According to Alder, there are $268,169.35 in liquid assets.  Since Adler has managed this Trust from July 2009 through present, she has spent or is attempting to spend $452,931 of the Trust's assets for her and her attorney's fees.  These ridiculous fees do not even include the $10,000 per month Elizabeth Adler paid for my Grandmother's substandard, unlicensed care over a 25 month period which is another $250,000.


Why hasn't Elizabeth Adler reported what was in the Trust before she began her mismanagement of trust funds?

I have given you examples of the lies contained in just 1 1/2 pages of Adler's 22 page Declaration...through numbers 3 of 11.  I will continue, in another blog, to pick apart The Conservator Elizabeth Adler's latest misrepresentation of reality that was filed on July 21, 2011, however, it is clear what she has done.  Everything Elizabeth Adler has done since July 2009 has only benefited the Conservator and her minions.  Nothing has benefited Catherine R. DeMartini, her Trust or the intended beneficiaries.


Every time Elizabeth Adler, the Conservator, files a Declaration she does so under Penalty of Perjury...

"I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing to true and correct."

What is the penalty for perjury under the laws of the State of California?


Is one lie one penalty?  Or is it on a document by document basis?  Hopefully, for The Conservator it is based on a total document of lies rather than lie by lie.  If not, she has perjured herself thousands of times.


The Psychopath

"Lying is like breathing to the psychopath.  When caught in a lie and
challenged, they make up new lies, and don't care if they're found out. As Hare
states, "Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for
psychopaths...When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom
perplexed or embarrassed -- they simply change their stories or attempt to
rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results
are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener."
(Hare, 46)
