A is for Arrogance
How can a court appointed conservator who knows nothing about a family's dynamics, who makes decisions based on hearsay and gossip and who is a total stranger to the conservatee possibly know what is best for that person?
How can a court appointed conservator make life and death medical decisions without the court's approval or knowledge?
How can a court appointed conservator move a conservatee from their home without the court's approval eventhough it is prohibited by California law?
Why would a court appointed conservator hire unlicensed caregivers to care for the conservatee and isolate the conservatee from their family?
How can a court appointed conservator who is appointed to protect the conservatee allow every one of the conservatee's rights to be violated?
How can a court appointed conservator make life and death medical decisions without the court's approval or knowledge?
How can a court appointed conservator move a conservatee from their home without the court's approval eventhough it is prohibited by California law?
Why would a court appointed conservator hire unlicensed caregivers to care for the conservatee and isolate the conservatee from their family?
How can a court appointed conservator who is appointed to protect the conservatee allow every one of the conservatee's rights to be violated?
It happens every day with conservators appointed by San Francisco's Probate Court. Believe it!

Professional Fiduciaries Bureau
The Professional Fiduciaries Bureau was created by California legislation that passed and was enacted into law in 2007 to regulate non-family member professional fiduciaries, including conservators, guardians, trustees, and agents under durable power of attorney as defined by the Professional Fiduciaries Act.
Professional Fiduciaries must comply with reporting requirements and must abide by the Professional Fiduciaries Code of Ethics so that client matters are handled responsibly and without conflict.
The Bureau accepts complaints filed against licensed professional fiduciaries subject to the licensing laws under the Professional Fiduciaries Act (Business & Professional Code §6500 et seq.) and its regulations. You may view the statutes and regulations on the Bureau’s web site or contact the Bureau to request copies.

Heartbreaking
A heartbreaking story of elder care and guardian abuse found on the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse (NASGA) blog....
"As my friend, Diane, continues to put up a noble effort to overcome court decisions that have consistently denied her of her rights, as well as violated her mother, Dorothy's rights, it became evident that "someone" wanted me to take on a more active role in bringing this situation to light.
For over two years, I witnessed Diane struggle to deal with a judge's power and ego-driven attitude in making his decisions. His rulings were based on blatant lies by others, testimony and statements that in many cases would be seen as perjury, are what shaped his erroneous opinions of my friend. It is a dangerous precedent to disparage someone for their behavior when you have nothing more than the hearsay of the people you put in control of an elderly woman, and who is financially benefiting from having autonomy over her.
I decided to do more than just give Diane moral support and have made a conscious decision to let other people across the country know about her battle to save her mother from being unwillingly incarcerated in a nursing home.
My assessment of what has been happening came more into focus. Dorothy is being used as a pawn by a judge, law guardian and health care manager who all seem to be benefiting from a rift in the family."
