Gant Law

Our client’s sibling was caring for their ailing mother for multiple years before burning out. Our client then stepped in as court-appointed conservator. Upon stepping into that role, our client discovered that their sibling had exploited their mother by taking (and later trying to hide) a $25,000 loan and using their mother’s funds for personal purchases. Our client’s mother was in danger of losing …..

Client's niece filed a faulty claim against him and motioned to remove him as co-guardian for his sister. Niece's claim was based on assumption only and had no basis in fact. Through investigation, witness interviews, and a successful, contested court hearing, we were able to reveal the truth and show that, in fact, niece was the one who had committed the act she claimed was a breach of fiduciary duties. Client remained in his position as co-guardian. Niece's motion for removal was denied. Client was awarded attorney fees and costs.

Client had cognitive and physical impairments and was being financially exploited by third parties. A family member petitioned for Guardianship and Conservatorship, and Client joined in the petition. However, a unique Visitor’s report was produced and threw a wrench in the uncontested matter. We were able to clearly represent our position and shore up the rebuttal information to make our Client’s wishes heard and made a reality.

Client needed to track down heirlooms held by estranged mother and negotiate their return. We were able to professionally and successfully receive all requested items without litigation.

Client’s friend was at great risk of exploitation on account of cognitive impairments. The friend was having trouble navigating VA benefits and other financial needs. We were able to successfully appoint Client as Guardian and Conservator despite a Visitor report that missed important information and resulted in a questionable recommendation.
