TN: Conservator Jeanan Mills-Stuart and Judge Randy Kennedy
For Jeanan Mills Stuart, the public guardian for Davidson County, no job is too small.
At rates between $195 and $225 an hour, the costs for Stuart’s personal attention add up.
She billed five hours — $986 — to accompany one of her wards to a performance of Handel’s Messiah. She charged the same woman $1,282 to take her to Dillard’s, Walgreens and lunch, and for the same day, billed her $1,183 for a shopping trip to CoolSprings Galleria, according to a fee affidavit filed in court records.
At least twice, Stuart charged $400 to attend the funerals of her wards.
And in several cases, Stuart billed her wards for Christmas presents she bought for them — blankets, comforters and afghans embroidered with their initials.
