Family Loses Estate in Guardianship Battle

Doris Preston passed away and left behind a small estate that would likely go to her adopted son who is mentally disabled. As a result, the woman's siblings came to help the son and used part of the inheritance to purchase a house for him. However, when they went to court to finalize things, it was determined that the son needed a court-appointed guardian and attorney to advocate his interests. Then, the appointees decided that the relatives were making poor decisions for the son.
