Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: Dr. Armstrong, who was forced to battle her own siblings in a million-dollar court battle to place her competent mother in an involuntary conservatorship, reveals how these arcane conservatorship and guardianship codes function in our courts today; unfortunately, as the author learned firsthand, the actual application of these codes is determined almost solely by the competence and attitudes of individual judges and investigators. She highlights the key problem areas common to the codes that should be changed and recommends ways that seniors can protect themselves to preserve their personal and financial freedom in their retirement years. She also suggests alternatives to conservatorships and guardianships that exist in every state to help the elderly with various aspects of daily living, such as balancing cheque books, paying bills, grocery shopping, preparing meals, etc. This breakthrough book exposes the secretive world of involuntary 'protective proceedings' and more importantly gives seniors the tools they need to protect themselves from this predatory litigation.; Diane G. Armstrong, Ph.D. (Santa Barbara, CA) is a clinical psychologist who works as a writer and consultant specializing in conservatorship/guardianship issues.; Google Preview content
