Hello. I am a new legal guardian and conservator living in NY for a protected person living in Oregon. The former legal guardian (son) and conservator who lives in California I have discovered has put the protected person's checking account in a serious deficit and spent most of the money for himself. I am aware the former G&C never filed the protected person's taxes, never paid former rent to the protected person's landlord, or never concerned himself liquidating with the protected person's trailer, vehicle, or storage units, or visited his dad in the hospital. The judge who appointed me powers is unaware of these matters, now has asked me if I "can find something out of sort" for the first G&C, I will need to seek an attorney. I love to and can prove all of those failed duties. The only issue I cannot afford an Oregon private attorney as the judge instructed I would need an attorney to submit documentation into the court. I am not an Oregon State resident so most state programs do not apply to me. What do I do? If I cannot prove to the court how bad the first G&C was, it is likely the court could return the powers back to the bad first G&C. Injustice because I cannot afford legal counsel!
