On August 18, 2022, his “longtime friend” requested and received approval for an emergency appointment for temporary guardianship and conservatorship on his behalf, according to rumors.
His acquaintance was appointed as his guardian, and the bank was tasked with managing his finances as his conservator.
As his conservator, the bank would be responsible for all payments to his care facility, including daily costs, health insurance, maintenance, and property taxes. He would require appropriate transportation for activities and doctor’s appointments, which the bank would have to ensure.
His friend had to submit a “initial care plan” for him in order to be his guardian, and he has participated “in decision-making since the stroke.”
To accomplish this, his guardian must make decisions about his living situation, place of residence, health, and healthcare needs; encourage participation in any activities; and maintain communication with family members and potential romantic interests. As his guardian, he would also be required to provide a yearly report.
According to his paperwork, his condition was deteriorating and he was unable to make self-adequate decisions, “without which physical injury or sickness may result.”
Documents revealed that he was in far worse shape than previously thought, and that he was unable to “make, communicate, or carry out important decisions about his own financial affairs.”
His guardian must make decisions for him until he is well enough to “get treatment for his injuries” and capable of doing so.
The court determined Fritz requires a guardian to protect his health in the future. The court ruled that “appointment of a guardian and conservator is required to prevent him from suffering immediate harm.”
This story is truly heartbreaking. We send our best wishes for Frank Fritz’s health and recovery.
