Thank you to our friends at US~Observer for once again including an Estate of Denial commentary in their latest edition! Along with publishing “Your Town, USA – a Great Place to Live, Launch and Loot?” (http://www.estateofdenial.com/?p=334), the US~Observer editors tied our Involuntary Redistribution of Assets (IRA) column to an important commentary by Ron Lee which focuses on a story out of Washington state involving a young man named Ryan Cuthbert and the activities of Beagle, Burke and Associates, a professional fiduciary services firm.
“What About Ryan? Protective System Creates Profiteers” is archived here at Estate of Denial and is also available at
http://www.usobserver.com/archive/may-08/ryan-cuthbert.htm. We regularly talk about looting assets of the dead and the disabled, but often our “disabled” are referring to the elderly. Ron’s story about Ryan Cuthbert and his family’s nightmare serves as an important reminder that people of any age with a multitude of disability circumstances can be at risk for IRA via guardianship abuse.
US~Observer is asking any individuals with information regarding Beagle, Burke and Associates to contact them at 541-474-7885 or via e-mail at: editor@usobserver.com.
Estate of Denial® provides news, analysis and commentary on abusive practices occurring in probate courts and via probate instruments (wills, trusts, guardianships, powers of attorney). We provide original perspective to educate the public regarding this growing threat to both individual freedoms and property rights.
