Guardianship Protection Racket Sinks to New Lows

Jail time for Chicago estate litigation initiators? Check out a Media Advisory we posted regarding a Chicago case in which two women may be going to jail because they pursued a civil case against a guardian and other parties believed to be looting the estate of 93-year-old Lydia Tyler. Mrs. Tyler and her family are pictured above. A ruling is scheduled for Wednesday. We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

From Illinois (via Arizona) Posted: 31 May 2009 01:53 PM PDT MEDIA ADVISORY May 30, 2009 Contact: Mary Beth Smith 602-434-2900 ***MEDIA ADVISORY*** Family Battling Guardianship May Go to Jail Nieces of 93-year-old Lydia Tyler say their aunt was targeted with an unwarranted guardianship as a tactic for looting assets from her multi-million dollar estate. A legal battle to have the guardianship revoked and to compel an accounting of her financial status may land two of the nieces, Mary Lynn Drabik and Mary Sue Richards, both of Phoenix, in jail. The two women say Cook County Probate Judge Maureen E. Connors has allowed counsel for one of the delinquent fiduciaries to press false “direct criminal contempt” charges as a result of the women’s continued pursuit within the civil court system to protect their aunt’s interests from what they believe is a coordinated effort on the part of Tyler’s guardians and associated parties to deplete her estate. Ruling was issued Friday, May 29, to bar Drabik and Richards from further involvement in resolving their aunt’s affairs. Judge Connors has scheduled ruling for 10 a.m. Wednesday, June 3, on the contempt charges. Drabik and Richards face a fine of up to $500 and/or three days in the Cook County jail. Guardianships have become controversial as families across this country learn the increased commonality of these probate instruments being abused as targeted individuals experience a deprivation of their liberty and a looting of their assets. Photo ops as well as interviews with the family will be available. WHO: The Family of Lydia Tyler WHAT: Cook County Probate Judge Maureen E.
