Q: I was a care taking for a lady with dementia. A lawyer has been granted conservatorship over her. I no longer care
for her, but am owed over $2000 in wages. First the lawyer told me he had to get on her account, then he said her had to put money in a conservatorship account and now he says he has to get approval from the court before he can pay me. It's been 3 months. What is the truth?
A:
It is difficult to provide you with an accurate answer, more information is needed. It is best to consult with an estate planning/elder law attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case.
I wish you well.

Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: Everything you have been told is accurate. You can ask the lawyer for a copy of the documents he filed in court to get approval to pay you. You can also ask the probate court for a copy of the document he filed for permission to pay you.
A: I agree with my colleague, it’s difficult to provide an answer without knowing the details of your case. You may want to consult with an attorney who can review the facts and provide you with guidance. . -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
