Post-appointment rights for an adult under guardianship allow the adult to exercise as much autonomy and independence as possible, while providing the adult with dignity. Although all post-appointment rights are important, this article focuses on four: (1) listing the rights and notifying the adult and their surrogates of these post-appointment rights; (2) the post-appointment rights of the adult to marry and to obtain a divorce; (3) the adult’s right of visitation with others; and (4) the adult’s right to seek termination of a guardianship. Recommendations from the authors focus on increasing the protections for adults with these post-appointment rights

Elder financial exploitation is a continuing problem in the United States, and the prosecution of elder financial exploitation has failed to keep up with modern problems and laws. In this Article, the Authors explore nearly three decades of appellate decisions from across the United States. In these examples, the Authors show how different courts have treated both victims and defendants through their appellate decisions. The Authors examine the basic elements that make up financial exploitation throughout the country. Cases from many courts, and of differing notoriety are explored, noting the difference in law and discretion across the United States. Finally, the Authors suggest resources for prosecutors and discuss how the United States can catch up with those who are taking advantage of an elderly population.
