AND Why is this of concern to NOW members and supporters? DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Zoom panel of Guardianship experts! \nRegister in advance for this webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kobrQviiTfmnLeKYH0z5IA\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nGuardianship affects senior women living in retirement states more than others. Especially women with financial means and few family members nearby to oversee their well-being. \nClick here for an example of a situation from CBS News 12. \nA guardianship is a legal proceeding in the circuit courts of Florida in which a guardian is appointed by the courts to represent (protect) the rights of a minor or incapacitated person. \nWhat could go wrong? Unfortunately\, allegations of fraud\, waste and abuse by court-appointed guardians or anyone willing to exploit incapacitated people occur too often. Our panel of experts will share ways that you can protect yourself and the vulnerable people in your life. \nModerated by Sheila Jaffe\, PBC NOW Board \nPanel Members: \nDr. Sam Sugar wrote the book “Guardianships and the Elderly–The Perfect Crime” and explains the ongoing crisis with Guardianships and Conservatorships. http://aaapg.net/ \nAnthony Palmieri is the Deputy Inspector General and Chief Guardianship Investigator at The PBC Office of the Clerk of Circuits Courts & Comptroller\, who over the past 10 years has become a widely recognized expert on guardianship fraud. https://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/departments/courts/guardianship https://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/services/guardianship-integrity-assurance-hotline \nMarcia Friedman sought Guardianship to protect her vulnerable elderly mother in June 2011. Marcia has served as an Advocate ever since her mother died\, after suffering isolation\, negligence\, and exploitation for seven years. \nHillary Hogue fears the word Guardian more than the word Cancer. Her father was hustled into a for-profit guardianship against his will and without being served any court document giving him notice of the bogus court proceedings.

This will be a family-friendly and pet-friendly LGBTQ+ event. \nVendors will be socially distanced from each other\, and the emphasis is on shopping versus socialization.

(FACTS)\, being committed to educating the public on these issues\, is continuing the conversation with a panel of Family Court officials and litigants\, set for May 22.  FACTS was created by NOW board members in 2003 and continues to observe proceedings in both Family and Dependency Courts. \nTo draw attention to this issue\, we are having a demonstration on Thursday\, May 13 at 11:45 at the Delray Beach Courthouse.  Join us\, wearing white tops with a Court Watch badge (available onsite if you don’t have one). If you have a stroller or baby carriage\, you are welcome to bring it for the visual. \nClick here for our brochure for more information about our issue.
