This really wasn’t a day when we came into the office and said “let’s pick on the legal industry,”  but based on articles just posted in the EoD News Archive, it would appear that way.

Brings to mind lyrics from a Willie Nelson song (remember we are from Texas!) recorded back in the early 80s:

There’s just a little fashioned karma coming down
Just a little old fashioned justice going round
A little bit of sowing and a little bit of reaping
A little bit of laughing and a little bit of weeping
Just a little old fashioned karma coming down
Coming down coming down just a little old fashioned karma coming down
It really ain’t hard to understand
If you’re gonna dance you gotta pay the band
It’s just a little old fashioned karma coming down

Meanwhile, before we sign off tonight, hope you will take a look at fellow Texan Latifa Ring’s web site www.EndGuardianshipAbuse.net.  Besides the site having good information, it also links to a petition we hope you’ll consider signing.  This petition, sponsored by Elder Abuse Victims Advocates, is being sent to members of Congress and their ability to read the comments directly from victims is impactful.

Latifa is working at the national level creating awareness that will hopefully lead to legislation addressing elder abuse in general with guardianship abuse as a specific atrocious exploitation subset while EstateofDenial.com efforts are focused here in Texas at the state level.

With the legal industry as a dominant player and formidable foe at all levels of probate reform, we’ll take this opportunity to remind those just learning about Involuntary Redistribution of Assets (IRA) actions as well as those engaged as activists that only with efforts mounted on all fronts have we any chance of success.

Forewarned is forearmed.
