Guardianship 101: Debbie Valdez & Candice Schwager

Join us as we begin our newest Adventure: Guardianship 101 - Everything you've always wanted to know about Guardianship but were afraid to ask!  We will begin where it all began in the Legislature, teach you what the Estates Code now provides and Debbie will give us weekly treats - suggestions and concrete plans for reform in the work by Guardianship Reform Advocates for the Disabled and Elderly (G.R.A.D.E). We invite you to call and be part of the journey! Today's show begins where it all began in Texas..Austin and Adult Protective Services. We will provide insight on the "Frankenstein Monster" constructed in 2005 that must be dismantled, as it has quickly
"evolved" into a very dark area of the law, where the elderly and their life savings part ways as they are placed in guardianship and neglected, hastening untimely death. But have no fear, we believe in CHANGE! We could hardly do this unless we did! Adventure is out there!
