Hosting Debbie Valdez (GRADE) & Ione McGinty: Losing $50 million to the State

Join Candice and Debbie Valdez as we host Ione McGinty to discuss an extreme example of Guardianship run riot, Pat Davis.oss of $50 million courtesy of the Texas Guardianship Program from 1984-2014. Davis settled a catastrophic injury case with General Motors in 1984, receiving $50 million to . Davis never even fathomed how the money would make him a prime target for exploitation by the State, until he was deemed an incapacitated ward of the State, stripped of his rights, and assigned a permanent guardian over his person and estate. As inconceivable as this may seem, his $50 million estate has been leveled to almost zero by the blood-sucking leeches appointed by the Court for "his protection and welfare." Welfare is certainly where they've placed him, but not at all what the Legislature had in mind when it created the guardianship system. This is a must hear program! Wow, the President of the Republican Party in Texas faked the medical professionals and lied, saying they adopted him. Yeah, they did. Well, he's in guardianship by Doehne's son, Mark Doehne, a guy without much of a future until this brilliant idea. Pat's family was not notified, but they were very much estranged. Can we say theft and exploitation? His gracious guardian placed him at an ICFMR (for mentally retarded, developmentally disabled and he's not). He gets nothing. Not even visitors.
