Fr. It's actually a waste of tax payer and courts resources and time. They really should just have advocacy groups wanting to end guardianships be the ones who manage everyone in them. They want people to be independent and can offer them the least restrictions or independence without draining them. Would be much more cost effective and clamp down on this type of mismanagement.
That any other "competent adult" in Florida can file a writ for someone else to be declared incompetent, seeming to lack adequate lack medical/legal oversight, and there is no way to get out of it besides fleeing is absolutely broken.
This is why it is becoming dangerous to retire in Florida because of the potential of being placed in an involuntary guardianship. Like you said, any competent adult can engage the right attorney and file the petitions for incapacity and for appointment of a guardian. The laws need to change to make it much harder to petition a court for guardianship.
Now that the State of Florida permanently revoked the professional guardian certification, I would not be surprised if criminal charges are filed. She needs to go to prison for a long time for what she did to her wards under her care.
This goes back at least ten years. Palm Beach County had judges who appointed their spouses to these positions. The then-chief judge removed them after backlash, but there was not ANYTHING done to prevent future fraud. As long as the judiciary appears to do their job, they will continue to turn a blind eye until the next person forces an investigation.
There is also some crazy law I saw on a video a while back about family members not being able to sue hospitals for malpractice, including it causing your death if you are not married in Florida, and your spouse and or kids are the only ones that can sue on your behalf.
Guardian ship needs to change. Ine basic rent utilities insurance protection services of phone ,banking etc. medical. The rest for the client. Care givers get paid by hour or contract time. The government and medical insurance covers that. Should be they pay the guardian and no money to guardian from clients.
The government should have to pay all these people back ...they gave her the power to do this
Yep, absolutely!
And this woman is not in prison because?!!! 😡
Your move, Florida.
End this guardianship crap!!!

She needs to be locked up for the rest of her life. She's a predator.
lock her up..
Exactly!
She should get life in prison...make everyone else in the profession fear doing the same
She better get charged
...and deported!
This is outrageous and unfair. Anyone who is a 'guardian' should receive many years of jail time for stealing.

Why she not in jail?
They should check all of them!
Why would she be given guardianship over so many people. Who gave it too her?
She should have to pay every thing back
This is elderly abuse at its finest, this need to stop
That's a narcissist
That law is disgusting!!!
Like the movie “I care a lot”. She should be in prison.
NOW DO CHILD GUARDIANSHIP..!! 😮
Do you notice that when they have? These guardians appointed that they're usually white and it's almost always people who have money.
It's not mismanagement it's theft
How is she not in jail?
She should be in jail….
Pure greed, she’s evil, why would you charge someone $99 freaking dollars per hour per hour phone calls 🙄, she needs to go to jail.
There should have been better oversight. One person shouldn't be appointed to so many cases.
She like the lady in the movie: I Care
Yep! Great movie! Diabolical!
I care a lot
I just made the same comment!
ABC. Thank you for doing some real journalism.

Mismanagement??? It's theft plain and simple. Lock this lady up and Government should pay victims back.
“I care a lot”
Movie plot line
Why isn't she on jail??🤑🤑
Another DEI hire
Seems like theft what about jail time?
They almost all do that.
She is not the 1st.
What's in her bank accounts and her relatives accounts?
Probably more of this going on than we know.
