TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (By The News Service of Florida) -- Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday signed a bill aimed at better protecting elderly Floridians from unscrupulous guardians. The measure (SB 232), filed by Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, calls for the Department of Elder Affairs to certify and oversee professional guardians. Under the bill, the Statewide Public Guardianship Office at the Florida Department of Elder Affairs will expand to become the Office of Public and Professional Guardians. It will establish standards for public and private guardians, receive and investigate complaints and penalize guardians who breach the standards. Detert has often cited a December 2014 series by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, which found that while Florida has an efficient system of identifying and caring for fragile elders, "tapping their assets is a growth business."
In 2003, there were 23 registered professional guardians on Florida. By 2014, the number had grown to more than 440.
Detert said private guardians can sell off wards' assets to pay themselves -- even to fight the wards' grown children in court. Private professional guardians often serve wealthy people, while public guardians serve incapacitated people who don't have anybody willing and able to serve as guardians.
The state has had a more heavily regulated system of oversight for public guardians.
Detert and House sponsor Larry Ahern, R-Seminole, said the bill would propel Florida into a leadership role nationwide in protecting seniors from guardian abuse.

A waste of time - comment by LC

[ProbateSharks.com] New comment on Wanted! We have had inquiries....

It is a true shame that there are websites bashing Officers of the Court / Guardians who make every effort to make the right decision often without the support of the ward and family members. Rare is it possible to meet the "Agenda's" of the family members and in a lot of cases, the wards themselves. The list above mentions the names of hard-working, caring people who are left to make the decisions that others could not or often times would not. This website is ridiculous. To think of what these people see and deal with on a day-to-day basis is unbelievable. I can't believe I read a few blogs here. What a waste of my time...

ProbateShark reply: Dear Anonymous, since we have so many Anonymous comment contributors I will assign you a special code name, LC, that stands for "Legal Comment". Your ProbateShark appreciates your creative criticism and wishes to reply to your "waste of time" comment. As you can see, you have not only been approved, but featured.

LC, The ProbateSharks.com blog has almost 6,000 postings, the majority of which reflect a massive criminal financial conspiracy against elders by their "care givers" and protectors. The ProbateShark.com blog’s "Wanted" list does not intend to charge individuals or organizations with any criminal intent. It only reflects inquiries by concerned persons wishing more information regarding these persons or organizations. One of our researchers did find one court appointed "guardian ad litem" on the list who murdered her disabled child and also appointed an inappropriate guardian for a 99 year old disabled ward. This court appointed guardian was court adjudicated "insane" and yet was allowed to make life and death decisions of this 99 year old disabled ward. Strange, but true since we have the court transcripts to prove it.

LC, The ProbateSharks.com blog has been visited several hundred thousand times. Many of the visitors represent virtually every state and federal alphabet law enforcement and social service organization in existence. We also have international visitors. Many of them spend hours scanning the blog and I’m sure very few consider it a "waste of time". This Shark has been told that the blog is a well studied "clearing house" for information concerning the "Judicial-Nursing Home Cartel".

LC, Look forward to hearing from you in the future with your creative comments, Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

But the guardianship issue is not one to be regarded lightly, and it will become more significant as baby boomers continue to age. That's why Blair County court officials' move to beef up the monitoring of such arrangements comes at a good time. The initiative must not become lost among other pressing county business. Still, it was disconcerting to hear county officials admit that the current monitoring of such arrangements here leaves something to be desired. As reported in an article in the Oct. 6 Mirror, Blair County Prothonotary Carol Newman, in whose office guardianships are filed, described the local monitoring as "hit and miss." According to Newman, no organized process for tracking the county's guardianship cases is in place. Thus, there could be instances where required annual reports have not been filed on time or at all, making it impossible to monitor what is happening in those cases. That raises the question of whether there ever is comprehensive review of many of those reports that are received. Again, the growth of the elderly population makes it imperative that the guardianship issue gets much more attention than it has received in the past. Meanwhile, the existing situation is an embarrassment for a county that usually prides itself on doing things right.
