Fiduciary Law v. the Constitution

 Like the Constitution, you do not mess with Fiduciary Law.  Both are sacrosanct.  Untouchable. So you would think.  

A Family Torn Apart.

 

🕊️ A Family Torn Apart (AI)

Mary was 78 and frail, but she loved her home. Her daughter had been living with her, helping with meals, shopping, and company. A neighbour, uneasy about a loud argument, reported “possible abuse” to authorities. Without a thorough investigation, the Public Guardian and Trustee stepped in.

On “protective” grounds, Mary was moved into a care facility. Her daughter was told she could no longer live with her mother — and visits were restricted. The allegation was never proven. No judge heard evidence. No one asked Mary what she wanted.

The PGT said it was acting “in Mary’s best interests.” But the result was devastating: Mary lost her home, her companion, and her voice in the decision. The daughter was stigmatized as unfit, with no chance to clear her name.

This is how families are destroyed not by malice, but by flimsy evidence and unchecked power. The PGT calls it protection. To those living it, it feels like betrayal.

Yes, it does happen. Family members are bullied and they cave. Everyone consents to silence/privacy.  The wrong goes unnoticed.

Justice delayed is Justice denied.

 When a lawyer in an estate says when he refuses to challenge a administrator who has conflicts by saying such conflicts will be decided at the passing of accounts, this to me is a perversion of justice.  Justice is delayed and full Justice will be denied.  The value of the justice will be lessened when a lawyer in an estate refuses to challenge an administrator who has conflicts of interest, stating that such conflicts will be addressed during the passing of accounts. I consider this a perversion of justice. Delaying justice only serves to erode its value. As a result, the administrator gains more than the other beneficiaries, while the lawyers profit from postponing their involvement until the passing of accounts, ensuring a quick return on their minimal investment. This situation is corrupt. Often, the beneficiaries may not even be aware that the administrator has conflicts of interest, and the estate is entitled to reimbursement for self-dealing, such as using estate resources for a trip to Las Vegas. The administrator benefits more than the other beneficiaries, and the lawyers benefit by delaying most of their work until the passing of accounts, which assures them a fast profit on their minimal investment.  It is corrupt. For the most part, the beneficiaries might not even know that the administrator has conflicts and the estate is entitled to be reimbursed for self-dealing, for example, using an estate vehicle for a trip to Las Vegas.
