Las Vegas private guardian, Jared E. Shafer, 1942-2024, was the former abusive public guardian that laid out all the maneuvers and tricks to provide the corrupt groundwork needed to exploit the victims of guardianship abuse in Clark County by the current public guardian. Private guardian, public guardian--they all operate the same way--to exploit seniors and disabled individuals all for profit under the guise of "guardian".
Judge Charles Hoskin and HearingMaster, Jon Norheim. A system that handles about 8,000 guardian cases a year was exposed. "In that courtroom, you are not safe. Never go in front of a family court judge," Rick Black. Attorney Rob Graham, who specializes in estate and guardianship, explains that
people who are wards of the state have fewer rights and access to fewer resources than prisoners who are convicted of the most heinous crimes.
The system intended to protect people puts them in a very vulnerable position. "Is there too much power floating around here being given to guardians that can come in and take complete control of your life, your money, your choices.
This chilling 2019 documentary from filmmaker Billie Mintz sheds light on the exploitation of elderly individuals in Las Vegas, revealing a disturbing narrative where vulnerable members of society are stripped of their financial security, medical choices, and independence.
Through manipulation by unethical court-appointed guardians, victims are coerced into surrendering control of their lives. With questionable legal orders in hand, the guardians can forcibly relocate seniors, cut off their ties with loved ones, and drain their finances. As the story unfolds, one group of victims unites to pursue accountability, compensation, and liberation.
As one senior shares in the film, ”It was the worst mistake I ever made in my life. I literally was kidnapped from my own home, drugged, and I asked them where I was, and they said you’re on the sixth floor in this psych ward.”
We recommend that you take the time to watch and share this concerning, eye-opening documentary.
