Mom Had Lonely Death In Nursing Home As Guardianship Industry Kept Daughter Away — This waking nightmare is in West Bradford, Chester County, Pa. and concerns Mary Bush and her mom, Genevieve.

The nightmare ended for Genevieve in 2021 when she died alone in Green Meadows Nursing Home in Paoli.

She had been kept in nursing homes since 2015 against her will, since being declared incapacitated in 2011.

Genevieve’s husband and Mary’s father, Fabian, died in 2004. A money dispute between Genevieve and her sons led to her revoking their power of attorney in 2005.

Genevieve also sued the sons saying they wrongfully took money from the estate. Chester County Common Pleas Court Robert J. Shenkin, however, ruled for the sons saying the investments they used had been made in their name.

So she rewrote her will in 2007 giving what remained of the estate to Mary and created a trust naming Mary as trustee.

“They already got their inheritance,” Mary said her mom told her about the sons.

And what remained was a nice bit as the family Cape Cod sat on 15 acres of prime real estate.

Mary and Genevieve refurbished the Cape Cod making it a beautiful place in which Genevieve could live the remainder of her years.

In 2008, she gifted the house and land to Mary rather than putting it in the trust because she wanted to be sure Mary got it.

The sons next step was to seek guardianship and filed a petition for declaration for incapacity. They hired attorney Alexander Chotkowski and on Oct. 30, 2009 a constable served the paper.

This started a process that put Genevieve into a guardianship in June 2011 and  continued until Genevieve’s death in 2021.

While serving the paper constable kindly called the law firm of Reger, Rizzo and Darnall for a lawyer for Genevieve, who naively accepted.

The lawyer, Thomas K. Schindler, told Genevieve that she did not have to appear in person for any hearings despite the state code mandating that she do.

Judge Katherine B. L. Platt declared Genevieve to have Alzheimer’s disease. Mary says her mom was as sharp as anyone. She was still handling her own finances and maintaining the trust.

Judge Platt ruled that Mary and her younger brother be made guardians of the person while her older brother was made guardian of the estate, which meant he handled the money.

Judge Platt also ordered Mary to sign the house given as a gift back to her mother.

In 2013, Judge Platt removed Mary as guardian after a dispute with the younger brother and ordered her evicted from the house. She was replaced as co-guardian by an attorney who would soon quit. Two years later the younger brother was removed from his post after an incident, and Genevieve was taken from her long-time home to the county’s Pocopson Home.

The estate was charged $65,000 for her stay in Pocopson.

Mary found her neglected. She was sitting in her own waste and had visible injuries.

After complaints, Genevieve was moved to Park Lane at Bellingham in West Chester, which charged $14,000 per month.

This was in January 2016.

Mary wasn’t happy with Park Lane either and made complaints. The staff responded by banning Mary from seeing her mom, and told police to watch out for her if she arrived.

When Mary arrived Westtown-East Goshen Police were soon on the scene. They escorted her from the building, and one of the cops stuck his finger in her face.

“I heard about you,” he said. The cop slammed her to the ground and cuffed her. Mary was a 56-old-woman when this happened. Yes, she was injured. She was taken to the hospital.

The small upside is that she sued the police department and won.

However, it was 614 days before she saw her mom again.

“I counted them,” she said.

“She had no idea if I abandoned her or if I was dead or alive or nothing,” she said.

The visits came with conditions, though. It could only be at Adult Protective Services and a deputy sheriff had to be present. Also Mary had to pay for caregiver to sit with Genevieve in the van and Genevieve had to pay for the cost of the van.

And it could only be for one-hour a month.

Mary says her mom was a changed person. She was uncertain and sad.

Genevieve, however, recognized her and could carry on a conversation.

So much for the Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Judge Platt.

The visits stopped when the county authorities said Genevieve no longer had enough money to pay for the van.

This happened in August 2018. It was the last time Mary saw her mother.

Genevieve died June 16, 2021. It was 15 hours after the deed was secured by developers Cameron and Lauren Adams who brought the property for $480,000 cash.

That’s a refurbished Cape Cod on 15-acres in suburban Philadelphia for $480,000.

An autopsy was prohibited.

“My mom never got a funeral. The judge that was involved just threw her in the ground.”

Mary is still fighting. She is asking the orphan court to give the property back as she is the trustee and the trust has never been dissolved.

The attorney for the Adams is asking she be declared in contempt for the act and forced to pay legal fees.

The Adams have also filed charges of harassment and stalking against Mary because she has taken photos of the dumpsters full of things from house.

Mary is not backing down. She has become a national figure in exposing guardianship corruption even speaking at a Free Britney (Spears) event.

“I’m just so determined. As far I’m concerned they murdered my mom for money. For the last seven years, they kept me from Mom,” she said.

Wow, crazy story. It seems to be a pattern how public servants can never be wrong or questioned, and how they abuse their authority to stop people from exposing them. That seems to be the norm today in the courts. Police should be doing their job, but as we all know, are selective with enforcement. As well, they hire too many control freaks and problem types who abuse the public. The worst of these end up shooting and killing people, which afterward the courts side with them and protect them. Authority needs to be questioned and held liable for their actions or lack of them. Do you have any advice for anyone whose been in your shoes what they can do to stop it?

Former client recalls Robert Telles as angry, inept lawyer

Telles handled guardianship cases before being elected as Public Administrator
The history of disgraced public official Robert Telles includes work in the already corrupt adult guardianship system that exploited some of Nevada’s most vulnerable citizens.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — In the wake of a Wednesday morning court decision to remove elected official Robert Telles from his role as Clark County Public Administrator, we continue to dig into the history of the disgraced public official charged with murdering journalist Jeff German.

13 Investigates uncovered Telles’ involvement in the already corrupt adult guardianship system that exploited some of Nevada’s most vulnerable citizens.

Recent Stories from ktnv.com

Our years-long guardianship investigation began in 2015. Guardianship is when a court assigns someone to take care of another person who’s deemed unable to make critical health and financial decisions.

Guardians can be family members or private professional guardians, who are assigned hundreds of cases every year.

They’re supposed to protect their vulnerable wards but we reported dozens of cases where those vulnerable people were isolated from loved ones while their homes were sold and bank accounts drained.

“It was like going from the frying pan to the fire.”

That’s how Elizabeth Indig describes her experience with an attorney who’d just received his law license.

That lawyer was Robert Telles who, years later, would be accused of murdering Review-Journal Investigative Reporter Jeff German.

“I’m so freaked out from this whole thing,” said Indig.

Her mother — also named Elizabeth — was caught up in what she calls an unnecessary guardianship.

Mrs. Indig lost her home and everything in it: furniture, a lifetime of collectibles, even the clothes in her closets.

It was all at the hands of private, for-profit guardian April Parks.

Parks was appointed by Clark County Family Court to protect Mrs. Indig.

A judge later found Parks committed fraud.

After 13 Investigates reported extensively about Parks’ pervasive mishandling of cases and double billing her clients, she was convicted of multiple felonies including elder exploitation, theft and perjury.

Parks is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence.

Leading up to that, as law enforcement was closing in on Parks and an indictment loomed, the guardian abandoned dozens of clients and abruptly moved out of state.

Mrs. Indig was one of the clients Parks left behind, forcing Elizabeth to navigate a broken system.

“While I was still battling April Parks, I was acting pro se — as my own attorney — for a long, long time.”

Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada assisted dozens of Parks’ abandoned clients, assigning lawyers who took cases pro bono.

Telles was one of those attorneys.

“Rob Telles first appeared on that case in January of 2016. And by that time, April Parks had fled the state. She was back in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,” recalls Rick Black.

Black formed the organization Center for Estate Administration Reform, or CEAR, in 2018 after seeing what happened to his father-in-law in a Clark County guardianship case.

Black says he is not surprised by Elizabeth’s first impression of Telles.

“He was smarmy and disingenuous as a person. And then he was incompetent and lazy as an attorney.”

Fresh out of law school and starting his own probate practice, Telles was given Elizabeth Indig as his first guardianship case.

“I was trying to tell facts to him, like regarding the price of our house that was stolen and how it fluctuates,” recalls Indig. “He couldn’t even grasp simple things, or he didn’t want to. It was weird. It’s like he took the case pro bono just to get out there and get famous.”

At one point in Mrs. Indig’s case, Judge Nancy Alf ordered Parks to pay the family $155,000 but Elizabeth says Telles failed to make that happen.

“He never filed a petition, never took any action against Parks to fulfill the $155,000 judgment, which was all to go to the benefit of his client, daughter Elizabeth Indig,” said Black, whose group, CEAR, has analyzed thousands of guardianship cases across the country including Telles’ work for the Indig family.

“So from start to finish, our interface with this and other cases with Mr. Telles was he’s in it to self-promote, and he’s in it to line his pockets, not necessarily satisfy a client.”

“He didn’t care at all about my mom or me,” said Indig.

Concerned Telles was botching her case, Elizabeth approached him at the courthouse, telling him despite working at no charge he needed to do better.

At one point, she confronted him about misconduct allegations she’d learned of from another attorney during the time Telles attended UNLV’s Boyd School of Law.

Telles was accused of inappropriate behavior at a party where he was intoxicated and allegedly placed his hand on a female student’s inner thigh.

Indig says Telles’ his reaction when she questioned him about that was terrifying.

“Like he wanted to kill me. If looks could kill, I would have died that day. We were in the courthouse, thank God for me. But he just got this look of hate on his face. And he clenched fists and then he looked either direction like he was almost going to strike me right there in the middle of the courthouse. And I backed down after that because that was the real Rob Telles.”

When Elizabeth lost her mother in 2018, she says Telles, “Didn’t even return my call when I left a message that she died. He’s heartless.”

Four years later, she was heartbroken to hear the news of Jeff German’s death.

When Telles was charged with murder, “It was no surprise to me because that’s why I backed off, because I saw there was a rage in there and I didn’t want anything to do with that.”

Rick Black says this little-known area of law — guardianship, probate, conservatorship–often has the least amount of oversight.

And with $2 trillion dollars passing from one generation to another every year, it draws nefarious professionals “Like bears to honey” he says.

He’s seen the exploitation so often, they’ve coined the phrase, “estate trafficking.”
