Financial predators stalk the mentally ill

Editor's note: This Shark has mentioned in the past about the pillaging of the Estate of Alice R. Gore by the Probate Court of Cook County.  Judge Kawamoto appointed a "court adjudicated" insane relative to be guardian of 99 year old Alice Gore.  This relative was represented by a major Chicago law firm with ties to nursing homes.  A $150,000 insurance policy owned by Alice with the insane relative as beneficiary was never entered into the assets of Alice's estate.  The Chicago law firm always seemed in a hurry to cash this policy and this Shark wonders how much of it was taken in "fees".  We wonder on...since no final accounting was ever prepared for Alice's daughter and heir. We know the FEDs are aware of this...but alas...nothing was done to investigate this infraction of the law. Just another victory for the probate parasites.   Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com


Financial predators stalk the mentally ill
Families and caseworkers say people with mental illness are at constant risk from financial predators
Most of the exploitation remains hidden out of shame or because the victims join in their own downfall
Guardianships and payee services can help, but advocates say mental illness needs greater attention and stigmas need to fall
