Gasper v. Adkins

Oct 30, 2018

OUTCOME: Success for client

Citation: Gasper v. Adkins, 2018-0hio-3941, 2018 WL 4677657 (Ohio Ct. App. 10th Dist. Franklin County 2018) Ward had moved to a nursing home paid for by Medicaid, and mortgage and taxes on her home ... were in default. Guardian's court action to sell the home was resisted by the mortgagee, since sale would not produce enough funds fully to satisfy the mortgage debt. Probate court authorized sale free of the mortgage, affirmed on appeal. RC 2127.19 4 provides for sale free of all liens as here. RC 2127.20 provides for sale with the consent of the mortgagee, but only where the buyer is assuming the mortgage, so that consent was properly not required here. It was further argued that sale would not benefit ward, since proceeds would not fully satisfy mortgage and none would remain for the guardianship; but sale would assure continuation of Medicaid benefits, and thus provide this important benefit to the ward.

IN RE: GUARDIANSHIP OF TIFFANY WEST

Apr 02, 2015

OUTCOME: Success

Ms. West was a ward under the supervision of a guardian for most of her life. I came onto the case in 2015 and at her hearing she demonstrated that was not incompetent and in fact was managing her lif ... e and affairs. Turns out that her aunt was falsifying claims and records to the court to maintain the guardianship to her own benefit. I worked to end the guardianship and it was quickly dissolved.
