The perils of probate court
author: Barbara Montrond
Once
a person is served a petition by another (often a greedy son or daughter
feeling entitlement to the elderly persons money/assets), they more
often than not end up in the hands of... not the petitioners... but to
another person who is picked by the courts and will stand to make enormous
sums of money. It is almost impossible to EVER get away from the hands of
these people and what we may consider as "due process" is obsolete.
Anvanced Directives and Powers of Attornys documents in place can and will
(generally) be revoked in... for example... 4 minutes exparte.

Elder
financial abuse has been around as long as older people have had money and
property.
Financial
abuse, often accompanied by physical, psychological, and/or sexual abuse
remains a sad reality for many older citizens. Until recently, one
particularly disturbing type of elder abuse has managed to remain a
"dirty little secret" within local and national probate courts:
Guardian and/or conservator/fiduciary abuse.
Guardian
and/or conservator abuse occurs when perpetrators use the system to drain the
estates of vulnerable people in order to enrich their own lives.
These
unscrupulous individuals shield themselves behind the walls of the probate
court, under the thinly veiled guise of protecting the elderly.
Thousands
of aging and/or otherwise vulnerable citizens undergo a particularly
dehumanizing process as they are systematically stripped of their civil and
constitutional rights via the probate or similar court system.
These
perpetrators have learned to use the system supposedly intended to protect
vulnerable citizens to dehumanize and destroy them instead.
One
example of a commonly used method to initiate protective proceedings occurs
when the impatient son or daughter of an aging person begins to worry about
their inheritance. Simply put, they want their inheritance now, and if not
now, they want to protect it from their parent(s) spending it on their own
care (or otherwise).
With
the assistance of an experienced Elder Law Attorney, one of the adult
children files a petition in the Probate Court. In order for the petition to
give the appearance of legitimacy, the petitioner must state reasons why
he/she should be placed in the position of controlling their parent's money
and decision-making ability, as well as why the petitioner's sibling(s) or
other family members' opinions should not be considered if they object to the
proceedings.
An
elder law attorney will determine what is important to be included in the
petition.
The
content of the petition need not be accurate or truthful, just compelling
enough to cast suspicion and doubt on those the petitioner believes may
attempt to thwart his/her attempt to gain exclusive control of his/her
parent's assets.
Accomplishing
this goal includes ruthless and malicious accusations regarding the
unsuspecting family member(s) of outrageous acts of abuse/neglect against the
prospective ward.
Allegations
need no merit, can be extremely inflammatory and even damage the attacked
persons reputation and/or career.
A
seasoned elder law attorney representing the petitioner understands what a
horrific effect this can have on the individual as well as their children,
however, stands to make thousands of dollars out of the prospective ward's
estate; but only if the petition is granted.
Self-serving
petitioners and their unprincipled attorneys clearly do not consider anyone
else's lives as they wreak havoc in effort to assist the petitioner in taking
control over the elderly person's estate.
Accusing
a protective family member of abusive or criminal behavior as well as being
crazy, mentally ill, a thief and/or on drugs is simply a means to an end.
The
probate court has no interest in due process, as do other courts within the
judicial system.
No
forum is available to deny or dispute these allegations. These false and
destructive allegations will become part of the permanent court records and will
serve many purposes throughout the remainder of the prospective ward's life.
Once
the petition is filed, the court assigns a "Visitor" to investigate
the petitioner's allegations. The Visitor, an individual chosen by the
Probate Court, is well connected in the tight circles of elder law
professionals. Court Visitors receive assignments to assess situations
brought to the courts' attention.
Payment
for the Visitor will be on the shoulders of the prospective ward; however,
only if the court approves the petition.
Petitioners',
along with their attorneys, depend on the information provided in the
Visitors report to assist them as they maneuver their way closer to becoming
the sole person legally allowed to handle the prospective ward's assets, along
with full control over all personal, health and living decisions of the ward.
Similar
to the petition, no substantiation of allegations need be addressed in the
Visitors report; it is simply the words of the opportunistic family member in
effort to discredit any objectors.
The
Visitor's job does not include fact-finding or anything resembling a search
for the truth.
However,
in support for the petitioner, the Visitor will make statements in his/her
report corroborating the petitioner's allegations with no new information to
disprove them.
As
stated above, the Visitor has a financial interest in creating the
conservatorship/guardianship and becomes a crucial person in the proceedings.
The petitioner, his/her attorney and the Visitor collaborate with one another
in effort to establish the conservatorship/guardianship.
Within
the circles of elder law professionals, the Visitor's report maintains a
crucial piece.
Without
the Visitor corroborating the petitioner's allegations, none of the
professionals involved stand to make a profit.
Once
the Visitor submits his or her report, an emergency hearing is scheduled.
If
the proposed ward objects to the petition the court may appoint the
prospective ward his/her own counsel, generally moments prior to the
emergency hearing.
Believing
the judicial system will protect them, news of representation may allow the
prospective ward and others' concerned a moment of much needed relief.
Sadly,
this relief proves nothing more than false hope.
The
attorney appointed to represent the prospective ward, along with the
petitioner's attorney and the visitor, maintain close relationships with one
another.
Fees
for the wards attorney come out of the prospective wards assets, and again,
only if the petition is granted.
Once
the emergency hearing commences, often ex parte and lasting just a few
minutes, the fate of the prospective wards' future is determined.
The
petitions' approval, often rubber-stamped by the judge reigning over the probate
court, seals the fate of the elderly person. From this moment forward, the
elderly person will be referred to as a "ward" or "protected
person".
Any
ability to make decisions for themselves is removed.
Power
of Attorney designations, as well as Advanced Directives the now ward may
have carefully designed years prior, will be revoked during these few
moments.
Generally,
at this point, it will also be determined that the original petitioner is
unsuitable for the role of conservator and or guardian, resulting in the
placement of a "professional" conservator and or guardian.
It
is in the best interest of the petitioner to remain in good standing with the
attorneys and the newly appointed guardian/conservator, thus maintaining
credibility with the judge, allowing him/her to be privy to information
concerning the ward along with retaining his/her ability to be involved in
decision-making decision making regarding the ward.
The
guardians and/or conservators are no strangers to the other individuals
involved in this brutal attack on another's civil liberties.
Most
of these professionals maintain close relationships with one another in
effort to ensure the continuation of these moneymaking ventures.
Along
with the attorneys, the Visitor, and guardian/conservators make a huge profit
fleecing these vulnerable individuals, often billing the ward for vague and
ambiguous services.
Due
to lack of accountably, it is common practice for the conservator/guardian to
charge the ward exorbitant fees for services whether rendered or not.
"Once
a person is placed into involuntary guardianship, they will lose all of their
civil rights and essentially face civil death.
They
cannot vote, marry, contract, divorce, decide where they live, what medical
care they can get, what drugs they can take, or refuse to take, and even if,
or when, they will die.
All
of these decisions will be assigned to a stranger who will make a hefty
profit off the victim". (NOTEGA - Stop Elder Abuse and Guardianship
Abuse. Retrieved from http://stopelderabuse.net/
These
cruel and predatory individuals that work in the field of elder law and elder
care state they involve themselves in effort to protect the elderly, however,
they will only consider involving themselves in cases, which the proposed
wards assets are substantial enough to make it worth their while.
The
financial piece of this abhorrent practice is inherent in establishing and
maintaining the guardianship/conservatorship industry.
Simply
put, this atrocity could not exist without the most powerful and compelling
piece... money.
Abuse
of this nature remains shrewdly concealed from public view.
Guardians
and/or conservators businesses thrive under the ruse of
"protecting" vulnerable citizens.
Currently,
news stories reporting this type of abuse flood the internet. The only remedy
available for the ward, resides in the same court that allows this practice
to flourish.
Although
judges have the legal and moral obligation to monitor the
guardians/conservators, oversight is sketchy ... at best.
If
questionable conduct is brought to the attention of the court, judges rarely
take action against the abusers.
The
criminal justice system will not intervene on behalf of victims under
"protective" orders leaving these victims with absolutely no
recourse and no escape from the abusive conservator/guardian.
Individuals
that objected to the petition will be treated like criminals and carefully
watched by the guardian/conservator.
The
unsubstantiated allegations used to support the original petition will be
held over the objecting persons head and reiterated to others, by the
guardian/conservator, to maintain suspicion about their motives. Information
in the petition will be presented as factual from that point forward and used
against them for the remainder of the wards life.
Restrictions
will be placed on the objector(s) often with the goal of keeping them away
from the ward.
These
allegations will be shared with the wards' physician(s), friends, neighbors,
and any other persons involved in the wards' life. As assets drain quickly,
guardians/conservators begin to prepare for the inevitable... running out of
the wards money. The issue of what occurs, when wards resources deplete, will
be addressed in the next part of this series, as well as information
regarding 82 individuals in the guardian and conservator business and their
networking practices.

THIS IS WHY I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT THE DURHAM "TRUST
SEC."
Who is watching our
elderly?
author: Barbara Montrond
e-mail:
barbaramontrond@gmail.com
Conservatorships/guardianships and corrupt fiduciaries...
sanctioned by the probate courts... are doing a great injustice to the
elderly and/or otherwise vulnerable citizens. Forced guardianships/conservatorships
seem to be benefit only a select group of people....at the expense of the
"protected persons" life savings and often their lives. It is a
national problem. Civil Rights may be removed at the discretion of those given
vast power with seemingly no accountability
|
Becoming a "professional" guardian and/or
conservator in Oregon does not require any type of certification and/or
licensure. The Guardian/Conservator Association of Oregon (GCA) website
reports that certification, in becoming a "Professional" Guardian
and/or Fiduciary, is on a voluntary basis. The GCA website also reports that
to be a Conservator and/or Guardian, they must have backgrounds free of any
criminal/personal/fiscal issues, or other issues that would give the court
reason to question their "ability or ethics". In a perfect world
that may be OK, however, if certification is not
necessary, who provides oversight to a board
that has the power to make life/death decisions, as well as gain
complete control over the assets of another?
Reviewing the complaint process available on the website
for the National Certified Guardian, it reports that the court that
appointed the guardian has the exclusive authority to remove, or otherwise
sanction, a guardian. This growing problem was investigated by the U.S.
Government Accountability Office (GAO) in July 2011. The outcome of the
investigation included noting hundreds of allegations of guardian abuse in 45
states, occurring between 1990 and 2010. "The GAO investigation reported
"significant exploitation of assets", as well as "guardians
are not sufficiently screened or monitored by the court; and additionally,
that selected guardian certification programs failed to adequately screen
potential certified guardians" (GAO 2011). It appears that Oregon can be
a frightening place for our aging population. Where do we start in attempting
to figure out how to combat this growing concern? This is the beginning of a
series of Oregon Probate issues and the financial and psychological
consequences of ignoring what is happening. http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2013/03/422161.shtml

I do not know if you are
aware of this but; Jackie, as Secretary of the Trust's and Corps, was a
signatory on Durham Trust Bank accounts.
As you are probably
aware, a guardianship and conservatorship was put on Jackie by her children and
Thaddeus Cosgrove of Cosgrove Law Firm.
It just so happens there
is a Safe Keeping Receipt in Iowa Bank. Since the Guardianship of Jackie... all
my Financial Instruments were stolen by 'you know who'... I knew the Safe
Keeping Receipt was in United Bank of Iowa and all stops had been pulled out to
get control over Jackies' signature power.
I also knew... my other
bank - Bank Iowa - did not have a Trust Dept. and is not large enough to take
this Financial Statement of $3,812,792,613.70. Hoping
Clay would respond (and
he did)... which would confirm the existence of the Safe Keeping Receipt.
Thaddeus Cosgrove and
Cosgrove Law Firm are the Attorneys representing United Bank of Iowa. This is a
Conflict of Interest and Breach of Fiduciary, aside from being illegal as all
get out.
There is a large
investigation in the State of W. Va. (and Inter-State) on this.
I am very concerned as
to what has happened to Jackie. If you have any info please let me know... My

SaLuSa
Acknowledges Containment
I don’t want to let a passage in SaLuSa’s
message today pass without emphasizing it.Last year, SaLuSa was predicting mass arrests, as in these comments from May 12, 2012: “You are looking at weeks, rather than months, for the mass arrests to take place. However it is a big operation that cannot start until everything is in place.” (1)
On July 12, 2012, SaLuSa was still speaking as if mass arrests were imminent and advising us not to become violent:
“The main point is that it has commenced and will suddenly burst into large scale action. It will be of such an impact that by no means can it be kept quiet by those who hold back the real news. …
“Whatever peaceful means you use to get your leaders attention is acceptable, but please avoid hotheads taking over, and beware of infiltrators who are out to cause trouble within your ranks.” (2)
But earlier in July, Archangel Michael announced that mass arrests would not take place, but would be replaced by a strategy he called “containment.”
“We have a process that you do not understand, because you tend to think in terms of your reality on Earth, of course. But you can think of it as a process of containment and of restraint so that these beings are restrained and contained, and for all intents and purposes, for your purposes and references, they are taken out of action. Or the actions that they are permitted to participate in are mostly illusion, and they do not affect the collective. In fact, if anything, they simply bounce back at the individual.” (3)
There then began a waiting game to see how long it would be before the galactic spokespeople also mentioned containment. Evidently that time has arrived. In his latest message, SaLuSa does refer to that process and acknowledges that mass arrests were rejected as being an unsuitable approach. (He may have mentioned it before, but I haven’t seen the reference.)
“In the past there have been many references to arresting those who are the ringleaders of the dark Ones, and steadily they have been rounded up. You have also heard of ‘Containment’ and in this way we have been able to severely restrict their activities. Mass arrests were considered likely to evoke panic amongst you, as few would have had any knowledge of why it was happening.” (4)
This latest reference illustrates a number of things. First it illustrates that the Company of Heaven can make changes to their plans on the fly, as they have said they can. In 2008, SaLuSa reminded us: “We have the ability to adjust to any changes quite easily and no challenge is beyond us. It is simply that our technological superiority lends itself quite readily to any situation.” (5)
In this case the change is that the strategy of mass arrests was rejected for one of containment.
Second, it illustrates that a major change such as this can be brought in without all elements of the Company of Heaven being equally conversant with it, or, if they are, then discussing it openly. I say that without judgment but as a simple statement of apparent fact. (And as always I could be wrong.)
Third, it suggests that there can in certain circumstances be the passage of what we would think of as a fair amount of time before a significant change such as this from mass arrests to containment shows up in the conversation of some elements of the light forces.
When I was first listening to channeled messages back in the 1970s, we would have called SaLuSa’s comment today “evidential.” It’s evidential to hear him refer to containment and closes down one area of seeming disagreement among sources.
No one likes to see accounts have important disconnects, such as that which seemed to exist between Matthew Ward and other sources over whether Ascension would be sudden or gradual.
In that case, the disagreement was resolved by finding that Ascension would be gradual for some time yet, full restoration when it comes probably being sudden (just as the preparation for enlightenment is gradual but enlightenment itself when it comes is sudden).
The lack of reference to containment in the messages of SaLuSa was a second example of a disconnect. Now that disconnect has been removed.
Living with disconnects like these can be difficult for all of us, and for no one more so than commentators. I’m happy that SaLuSa has acknowledged the existence of the containment approach and closed down this seeming area of disagreement.

Shock!
$307 Billion paid to Africa while America goes over cliff
On
February 21, 2013, in Video, by The Big Bad Bank
Obama Budgets $307
Billion For the African Internet, etc.
The “Alliance For An Affordable Internet” is a public-private partnership which intends to build a huge, expensive African Internet. Its headquarters are in Nairobi, Kenya, now dubbed “Africa’s Silicon Valley”.
The “Alliance For An Affordable Internet” is a public-private partnership which intends to build a huge, expensive African Internet. Its headquarters are in Nairobi, Kenya, now dubbed “Africa’s Silicon Valley”.
Hillary
Clinton alluded to this monstrous State Department project when she stepped
down from her Secretary job on February 1, 2013. She said, “One billion more
persons will have access to the Internet”. She did not expand her sentence to
include… “and Americans will pay for most of it”.
Here is the scheme: Bloomberg News reported on Feb
14, 2011 that President Obama’s budget for FYE2012 will include $307 billion in
grants to Silicon Valley. Specifically, the individual grant amounts in Obama’s
budget are: $148 billion for research and development, $80 billion for federal
information systems and $77.4 billion for computer education. Much (most?) of
the grant money will be spent for Africa’s Internet.
The
partners of “Alliance For An Affordable Internet” include the U.S Department of
State, the World Wide Web Foundation and five Silicon Valley computer giants
(Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Intel and Cisco Systems).
Americans
will get little benefit from these huge grants, nor can we endure the $307
billion in the cash outflow from the U.S. treasury. While we struggle to
pay for health and indigent assistance, our constant wars and our corroding
infrastructure, these grants will indeed bury us further into debt.
The
World Bank, the UN and many foundations are available to fund an African
Internet. If the international funds refuse to assist, the E.U. and the U.K.
should fund this project because of their large African associations.

In a recent meeting of the G-20 President Vladimir Putin was elected President of this G-20. What
has
held
this transition up is that the IMF, which owns the US and the UN, is part of
the Vatican Bank Trust and the Vatican Bank has refused to cooperate with the
G-20 up until now.
With the Pope turning "States Evidence" in his own Criminal Trial the Vatican Bank Access Codes were leaked to the BRIC Nations. This forced the Vatican Bank to cooperate with the 180 BRIC nation group.
The IMF is now forced to cooperate with the G-20 in designing a New World Dollar - the SDR. This redesign will be done in an attempt to bring the World Economy back on tract.
The head of the IMF, the same woman that said Social Security was DEATH PAYMENTS, is calling for a $1 Trillion Dollars IMF Buffer Fund to help stabilize the world's funds.
The Growth of the US Federal Budget based on Borrowing to provide more welfare for Illegals (14% for the last 4 years and 10% this year) has stunned the world. The Sequestration beginning 1 March is about a 10% budget increase, not a 14% budget increase.
As the Financial Stability Board 9Started in 2009), run by Russia, begins it's journey to stabilize the world economy just exactly how the world will be flooded with this new SDR Dollar is still being worked out.
It appears that the IMF will now fall under the auspices of this new FSB, as will the United States, the United Nations and the Vatican Bank.
In other words - the world will now be led not by the Vatican but by those in Russia. Their perception of the world is completely different than here in the usA. There are the rich and the poor and those pulled out to watch - like Retired Military.
Exactly how fast this occurs is also not yet determined, but when it occurs it will likely happen rather quickly.
On thing for sure - the new SDR will not be kind to the US Dollar. This means much higher prices for everything.
Thank you VA Director for selling the Military Records across the world to get grants so you could have your $5 Million Dollar Bonus this year. This has allowed All Corporations dealing with the United States Corporation to have their Access Codes compromised. You sold out the Jesuits, you sold out the Catholic Church, and you sold out the Vatican Bank.
Oh What Wicked Webs We Weave When First We Practice To Deceive.
Like the Living GOD has already stated: You do this without GOD's Approval and it will all come tumbling down, So HE has spoken, so it shall be.

Former Bush official promises to testify if someone will ‘Pinochet’ Cheney
The former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell pledged Tuesday to testify against former Vice President Dick Cheney if he is ever tried for war crimes.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson told Democracy Now‘s Amy Goodman that he would participate in a trial even if it meant personal repercussions.
“I, unfortunately — and I’ve admitted to this a number of times, publicly and privately — was the person who put together Colin Powell’s presentation at the United Nations Security Council on 5 February, 2003,” Wilkerson said. “It was probably the biggest mistake of my life. I regret it to this day. I regret not having resigned over it.”
In an interview that aired on NBC Monday, Cheney told Jamie Gangel that unlike President George W. Bush, he did not have a “sickening feeling” when they discovered there were no weapons of mass destruction after the invasion of Iraq.
“I think we did the right thing,” Cheney said.
Joining Wilkerson and Goodman to discuss Cheney’s new book “In My Time,” Salon’s Glenn Greenwald said that it was disturbing to see the former vice president treated simply as an “elder statesman.”
“The evidence is overwhelming… that Dick Cheney is not just a political figure with controversial views, but is an actual criminal, that he was centrally involved in a whole variety not just of war crimes in Iraq, but of domestic crimes, as well, including the authorization of warrantless eavesdropping on American citizens in violation of FISA, which says that you go to jail for five years for each offense, as well as the authorization and implementation of a worldwide torture regime that, according to General Barry McCaffrey, resulted in the murder — his word — of dozens of detainees, far beyond just the three or four cases of waterboarding that media figures typically ask Cheney about,” Greenwald explained.
“And as a result, Dick Cheney goes around the country profiting off of this, you know, sleazy, sensationalistic, self-serving book, basically profiting from his crimes, and at the same time normalizing the idea that these kind of policies, though maybe in the view of some wrongheaded, are perfectly legitimate political choices to make. And I think that’s the really damaging legacy from all of this.”
“Colonel Wilkerson, do you think the Bush administration officials should be held accountable in the way that Glenn Greenwald is talking about?” Goodman asked.
“I certainly do,” Wilkerson replied. “And I’d be willing to testify, and I’d be willing to take any punishment I’m due. And I have to say, I agree with almost everything [Greenwald] just said. And I think that explains the aggressiveness, to a large extent, of the Cheney attack and of the words like ‘exploding heads all over Washington.’ This is a book written out of fear, fear that one day someone will ‘Pinochet’ Dick Cheney.”
Wilkerson was referring to former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who was arrested in London in 1998 after being indicted for crimes against humanity. It was the first time the principle of universal jurisdiction had been applied to a former foreign head of state.
