I read this article last fall but with the recent threads on Powers of Attorney and Wills with sketchy family members I thought I should pass this along.
The article covers an unscrupulous woman who gets court appointment as guardian of elderly folks and takes over their finances. The typical MO is to move the family into crappy quarters and have them break all contact with family. All legal and court supervision seems to be lacking.
If you don't feel like you need a bath or want to punch someone after reading you may need to have your pulse checked.
