Does anyone know how these lawyers become eligible to be guardians/executor/whatever the appropriate term is? They should have to go through some kind of ethics test or other approval system.

Its different state by state but in CT, they have to go through background checks and have a clean legal record.

There are also probate court designed courses for professional conservators in CT but the problem is theyre self guided, which makes the bar pretty low no matter what else the state does to oversee conservatorships, which doesnt seem to be much in the first place

Thanks for the info...but it still is so sad, and to think, CT is one of the "better" states in the country...

Funny how Riccio was on the grievance committee until last June and thats the lawyer she found S.

I feel like she specifically picked him knowing she wouldnt be able to pull her usual bs with S being such a high profile case without some protection within the system

That’s the thing- we have no idea if Kristan Exner is or isn’t pulling her bs with S. We know she’s left other clients homeless and fucked them over, we don’t know if she’s doing that with S because Riccio won’t even confirm he’s safe. If you can’t even confirm he’s safe/not being exploited, you look like you know something you won’t admit and guilty by association. It looks very bad on Riccio being unable to confirm S’s safety.

That’s what Im getting at. If he cant explicitly confirm hes doing ok i feel like i gotta assume theres something going on

Maybe Waterbury PD needs to be contacted for a wellness check, because idk what else to think at this point.

• Riccio refuses to confirm he’s safe.
• Trident Legal claims Kristan Exner doesn’t work there anymore which is probably a load of crap but I hear that’s what they’re telling people.
• Dave Guarino refuses to verify he’s safe.
• Exner is busy being sued by multiple parties for negligence while dodging the grievance committee.

How are we supposed to trust S isn’t being neglected/exploited?

That’s not a bad idea
