Points to Ponder
By: Rana Goodman / On My Soapbox
As the months tick by, I become more and
more astonished that Maryanne Chiang
(Blaha) still has no resolution in the fight against
her son’s guardianship of her.
In early January, Maryanne’s
attorney filed a motion to dissolve
that guardianship and make
Maryann a free person. In response,
her son requested the court to
relocate her to an assisted living
facility in California.
I believe moving someone to a
different state, when she has a very
active life of social events, charity
work and dates with her many
friends in Sun City Anthem would be
nothing short of a death sentence. It
has been almost three long months
and Judge Linda Marquis has yet to render a decision on dissolving
the guardianship or anything else.
The legal fees from the son’s attorney are now up to $250,000 - with
no end in sight. And now the trustee of Maryanne’s trust, (who was
appointed by her son and his attorney) are claiming they must sell
off Maryanne’s rental properties in order to care for her… WHAT
BALONEY!
Does anybody believe this is “justice”?
Moving on to an interesting HOA issue: Located in a Sun City
community, one of the residents became frustrated with a notice he
received regarding a violation of the HOA rules and requirements. In
response, he expressed his frustration to the front of his home.
They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. What do you think?
I’m sure he didn’t think or care about the consequences to his
neighbors. Unfortunately a widow living on the same street had placed
her home for sale. In anticipation in selling her home, she reserved a
spot in an assisted living facility to spend her final days.
As the closing of the sale approached, the potential new buyers drove
by to look again at their new “forever home.” When they drove past the
man’s home, stopping to stare in amazement, they realized that was
not the street for them.
They apologized to the widow telling her that they could not
complete the sale with “that other house” as a neighbor. Sadly, in a
domino effect, not only did the sale fall though, she also lost her spot in
the assisted living facility.
You might be thinking that the HOA could fix this issue but think
about this. Would they be trespassing if they attempted to clean up the
mess? Would the man just create his masterpiece over again?
It is a “sticky wicket” at best.

Scary Scam of the Month
Here’s a more clever email scam received
last month. It sure looks good at first glance.
It even has the correct Chase Bank
logo to give it some legitimacy. But here’s
where it fails. Notice exactly “who” sent
it. Definitely not from Chase Bank. Another
giveaway – the recipient does not have a
Chase bank account.
As always, think before you click on those
attachments. If in doubt, don’t!
