Our Mission

NASGA is made up of dedicated individuals who have experienced the horrors of guardianship or conservatorship. As former victims or family members of victims, our mission is to end unlawful and abusive guardianship or conservatorship practices.

Originally created for the noble purpose of "guarding" the alleged incapacitated person (AIP) and "conserving" the assets, guardianship/conservatorship has become a feeding trough for professional predators engaged in self-enrichment.

Our members exchange information, ideas, and practical advice; they support each other. They cannot and do not "represent" each other in court, but they can be there with others, making their presence known. And they can give advice (whether described as "legal" or otherwise), by sharing any information generally available to the public, including statutes, case decisions, and white papers, etc. regarding issues of interest.

The most important thing our members can do is work with us to change the law! It's not as complicated as you think, but it takes a lot of "people power."

For representation in court, you must consult an attorney, Legal Aid or Legal Services.

We cannot recommend attorneys.

We can, however, give you a list of attorneys, judges, guardians and other fiduciaries encountered by our members whom they would NOT recommend:
