[il-talk] FYI

[Rob Kaiser]

Hello all:

I know I am no longer in Illinois. I'm in Southern California, but I feel I 
need to put my two cents in:

After reading the post from Lesslie, this sounds like it very well could be 
a blindness issue. It is important for us to know who is out there who can 
best assist us in different matters especially legal ones.

I am running into a situation that occurred while I was vissiting my mom in 
Chicago in 2011. My aunt just died two months before. The doorbell rang, and 
my mom said "The attorney is here for you to sign some papers." Because mom 
is so intimmidating, I allowed myself to sign papers, some of which allow my 
mom to declare me incommpetent (sorry for the possible wrong spellling.) I 
am now trying to work with someone here in Socal to get matters resolved 
including getting controll of my own funds.

If these papers (the trust, poa, will and dourible poa) had been propperly 
read to me, I wouldn't have signed them.

We, as blind people need to know who is out there and who is willing to work 
with us on important (legal) matters.

Sorry for getting on my soap box.

No soliciting allowed on this platform.

Please follow the protocols of this list-serve.

This is the second time such a post is coming from a leader.

You are setting a wrong precedent by promoting products/services-- this 
platform is for blindness related discussions.

I urge the moderator to please post the guidelines for this forum...

Sincerely

Syed
