“I stand corrected.”
actually, i had never heard of the Public Administrator being elected either ... in most states, the local Public Administrator is appointed by the local court; apparently in a few states it’s an elected position ...
“...quite a few Democrat candidates and officeholders are squirrelly, sometimes in a dangerous way.”
Estates without a vigilant heir and a protective judge are always a temptation as a chance for insiders to loot. Years ago, before the rules were tightened, my father was astonished as a chief circuit judge to see the lush fees that estates routinely generated for lawyers, appraisers, and administrators. A handful of eager judges always jockeyed to be assigned to the probate division, so my father’s solution was to assign honest new judges and rotate them out every year.
A transvestite with a thievish disposition is a natural choice for appointment by the party of crooks, commies, and kooks.
Thanks for update. Bumping to come back to later.
what you say it true about the Public Administrator’s office: it’s the place where crooks are most likely to rob stuff like kids in a candy store and probably least likely to be caught ... OTOH, even the honest ones aren’t terribly motivated to get top dollar when they have tons of stuff to dispose of quickly, and folks that are networked in can end up with lots of stuff that are real bargains ...
About forty years ago, a friend of mine had her aunt’s estate that she was supposed to inherit looted in that way. She was smart and tough and worked for a prominent state senator in Florida, so, with help, she dug out the facts, found local lawyers and court personnel who were unhappy about the local probate crooks, got her legal claims filed, and then got Dateline involved. It took about two years of work, but eventually people went to jail over the corruption and my friend got her inheritance. The mistake the crooks made was thinking that this particular older single widow in Florida could be rolled.
