For Immediate Release: AAAPG’s Protest Against Abusive Guardianship of the Elderly

"Americans Against Abusive Probate Guardianship (AAAPG) will hold a rally on November 16th, 2017 during the National Conference of Probate Judges convention to protest the scourge of Elder Abuse in probate court guardianships around the country.


“Gone unchecked, a court appointed guardian of an elderly person can become abusive and exploitive very quickly,” said Dr. Sam Sugar, founder of AAAPG in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.


Dr. Sugar, Founder of AAAPG, will lead the protest which will call attention to the plight of the elderly and their families and of the financial and physical danger that can await them in probate court.


“When an application for guardianship is filed in any probate court in the U.S., you are putting a loved one at risk of their life and flagging the government that their estate and your inheritance are up for grabs,” Dr. Sugar said. He added, “The majority of honest Probate Judges should be reminded and outraged that a small minority of Probate Judges in hotspots around the Country are perverting the laws designed to protect the vulnerable among us into a racket to defraud, abuse and exploit seniors and their families and take their estates”.
