THIS CASE IS SET FOR HEARING ON Amendment [05/02/17]1st Account Current and Petition for fees by Loweta Carroll, daughter. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES AND/OR DEFICIENCIES IN THE PAPERS ARE NOTED-

1. Conservatee recently passed away on 09/18/17. 2. Daughter, Loweta Carroll, was appointed conservator, person/estate, on

4/16/13. Recent amendment filed did not appear to have many changes. 3. Account period covers 05/30/13 - 05/29/14 and begins as of date letters were

issued instead of as of date of appointment. As petitioner did not have authority until bond was posted, Assets may not have been marshaled on date of appointment.

4. Assets on hand $4,291.33 in cash. 5. Accounting shows conservatee’s estate was considerably spent down; the

beginning balance was $52,456.75 in cash. The only income is from SS benefits; Court may wish to inquire as to the current care plan.

6. Conservatee and conservator reside together in conservatee’s home and is her full time caregiver with no alleged respite. Petitioner has not sought compensation for her services or reimbursement of funds advanced.

7. Attorney does not seek fees; however, reserves the right for a later date. 8. The $11,918.80 paid to Keith Walker, of which $7,465 was for services

performed prior to the conservatorship and was allegedly due prior to issuance of letters.

a. Declaration with itemization filed on 08/01/17. Counsel stands prepared to refund Conservator all of part of $12,085 in fees taken out of client trust account.

9. The $2,500.00 paid to Ben Selters was for services rendered prior to conservatorship and were paid per Pr.C. § 2430(a)(1).

10. The $3,000.00 paid to Margaret Arter for “attorney fees were related to creation of conservatorship per Pr.C. § 2430(a)(1).

11. Disbursements show a total of $85.00 paid for overdraft fees [05/02 Accounting LF p.26]. Petitioner previously suggests fees are de minimis given fees are currently waived.

12. Original Report states: “Conservatee was the victim of financial and physical elder abuse perpetrated by her son, Davey Eugene Carroll and his wife and other persons. This abuse has been reported to the San Bernardino County Sheriff and Wells Fargo Bank and investigations are pending with both the Sheriff and the Bank.”

a. Disbursements show many payments totaling $897.58 to various payees “to locate brother and his wife.”

13. Disbursements show many payments totaling $776.03 for forms “to begin civil suit against Lillie Norton or for “access to legal website”. As Conservatee is represented, question the need of these expenditures. Supp. (11/10/15) indicates use of Conservatee’s counsel for these endeavors would have cost the conservatorship attorney fees far in excess of the funds expended. JTD.





14. Disbursements show several payments for auto supplies and AAA membership renewal. Supp. (11/10/15) indicates Petitioner uses her own vehicle to provide all transportation for the Conservatee. JTD.

15. Disbursements show several payments for Nico-derm beginning 11/18/13.

JTD.

16. Disbursements show many payments for repairs: supplies and labor. Does Court wish to require further explanation for these payments as no petition for authority to expend funds for repairs filed. Supp. (11/10/15) indicates Conservator is not required to obtain authority to expend funds for repairs to Conservatee’s home. However, as home is held in trust, question why trust should not be liable for cost of repairs? JTD.

17. Disbursements show several payments noted as “unknown” payee. Does Court wish to require further explanation for these payments [05/02 LF, p. 74-75].

18. Disbursements show 2 payments to psychiatrist of $115.00 each. Court may wish to inquire as to conservatee’s care plan. Supp. (11/10/15) indicates these payments were for fees incurred by Petitioner, personally, in her efforts to cope with caring for Conservatee full-time. JTD.

19. Bond was set at $21,000. Petitioner requests bond exonerated as the estate now qualifies for bond waiver under Pr.C.¨§2323, 2628. Ok.
