As the population ages the issues of the elderly become more widespread and crucial. Rescuing Ruby is a factual detailed story of a daughter’s struggle with guardianship abuse.
This is the true account of the events that lead to the near destruction of her family at the hands of her cousins, Jewish Family Services of West Palm Beach, Florida and one of the most powerful Elder Law attorneys in South Florida.
It is a warning of a legal system which is out of control. Families become victims of judges and attorneys in nearly every state in the U.S.
Guardianship was designed as a last resort to protect our most vulnerable citizens, yet, as this book will reveal, it has now become an easy source of corruption, legalized theft and, in some cases, court sanctioned murder.
Once a person is put into guardianship, they have less constitutional rights than a serial killer sitting on death row. The victim is put into a nursing home, or worse, isolated from their family, and denied any contact or visitation, by order of the guardian in order to “protect” their “ward”.
The family’s estate is now controlled by the guardian, so they do not have the funds to hire an attorney, and attorneys won’t take on these cases because they know the cards are stacked against them, even before they file their first motion.
The only way to end the cycle is to recognize it before it happens and avoid falling into the trap. Read this book and know that if this nightmare can happen to a loving, innocent family, it can happen to you.
