GAO Report to U.S. Senate on Guardianships: Cases of Financial Exploitation, Neglect and Abuse of Seniors

This is the website for the United States Government Accountability Office Report to the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, September 2010 on Guardianships: Cases of Financial Exploitation, Neglect and Abuse of Seniors. Why hasn't the Certified Professional Guardianship Board addressed the issues raised in this report concerning guardianship exploitation, neglect and abuse in the State of Washington? Is there a conflict of interest in allowing attorneys who run their own guardianship companies run the guardianship board for the State of Washington? Does the Governor or the Attorney General for the State of Washington care about this important GAO report?
