Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Indiana
Mismanaged finances by conservator
My boyfriend had a contract with an
organization to temporarily manage
his finances. I'm not sure if they
were declared legal conservators, but
there was a written agreement for
financial management. They
received his SSI income directly, paid
his monthly bills, and dealt with his
mental health care. During that time
they allowed a prescription bill of over
$10,000 to accrue when they had
access to drug samples as well as
information for the Patient Assistance
Program from drug companies, which
would have allowed him to receive
his prescriptions at a very discounted
rate (maybe $5 a month per drug).
What should we do?

I have to agree with the previous answer: get the agreement reviewed by an attorney. One other thing, about the the debt: no one can garnish SSI for this kind of debt.

He may be able to file suit. The agreement needs to be reviewed by an attorney.
