Judges Involved in Multiple Property Reconveyances

  By ,

Assistance With Debt Repayment is Sure to Gain His or Her Favor Taking out large sums of money in the form of property loans and later paying them back is one method that a judge might employ to conceal the fact that he or she is being enriched from an outside source. When a judge’s income is inadequate to serve as the source of loan repayments, it is likely that the funds are coming from somewhere else. JANET PHELAN September 11, 2009 SAN BERNARDINO, CA — Several years ago, all of the county’s probate and conservatorship cases were moved to the Redlands Courthouse, and most of these cases were subsequently heard by Judge James M. Welch. Recent documents obtained by the Sentinel point to suspicious financial activity by Welch, who at one point in time was the presiding judge of San Bernardino County. Welch was featured in an article in the Sentinel on June 12th of this year in a lengthy exposé regarding questionable business practices by Melodie Z. Scott, a professional fiduciary and conservator for the elderly. Scott is President of C.A.R.E., Inc., located at 25 E. State Street in Redlands, right around the corner from the courthouse. The activities by Scott cited by the Sentinel as questionable involved giving conservatee property to her own family members, overcharges on her clients’ accounts, missing monies from clients’ accounts, selling conservatee property at bargain basement rates only to have the property jump in value and resold the next year, withholding medical care from conservatees resulting in death, and allegations of possible undue influence on judges. The documents uncovered relating to Judge Welch reveal that he has mortgaged his primary residence, located in the 300 block of La Colina in Redlands several… Read More

Taking Care of Britney Spears: The Shocking Sequence of Events That Led to Her Decade-Long Conservatorship

MediaPunch/REX/Shutterstock In 2008, the pop star’s father was put in charge of his daughter’s affairs, and despite her reestablishment as a success, the arrangement hasn’t changed on paper By NATALIE FINN MAR 27, 2018 2:36 PMTAGS Britney Spears spent $570 on gas in 2010. She sold a 8-year-old Ferrari for $78,000 in 2012. She spent $31,000 on her dogs in 2013. Target got $5,500 from her in 2014. In 2016, she treated herself to $120,000 in massages, nail care and other grooming services. There’s a reason we know all this, a reason why her itemized bills (if not the itemized receipts themselves, darn it) are a matter of public record. For the past decade, Britney Jean Spears’ finances, from her most extravagant purchases and eight-figure contracts to her trips to the 99 Cent Store, have been under the control of a conservatorship overseen by her father, Jamie Spears, and attorney Andrew M. Wallet. The gentlemen were installed as co-conservators of Britney’s estate—and put in charge at the time of her medical care, career oversight and any monetary transaction—by a judge in the wake of her dual emergency hospitalizations in January 2008. These days, with Spears once again a radiant stage presence who just completed a wildly successful Las Vegas residency and will be taking the show on tour this summer, not to mention a hands-on mother of two tween boys who ferries them to school and soccer practice and the beach, it’s easy to forget that, technically, the 36-year-old is still not in charge of her own affairs. Britney Spears’ Best Concert Costumes Not that 24-year-old Britney was super busy writing checks and poring over contracts and legal documents. She had people for that, and would’ve continued to have people… Read More
