WHAT’S GOOD AND EVIL ABOUT PROBATE CONSERVATORSHIPS – AND HOW TO AVOID THE BAD PARTS is the topic of the next public meeting
of the Hemlock Society of San Diego. It will be on the FOURTH Sunday this time, September 26. You will hear about the legal side and the victimization side. We will not hear from Brittney Spears but it would be good to read up about her situation. The program will focus on issues of interest to our audience, like what happens to older people who may be alone, and may have some dementia — or whose advance directives are being ignored, or whose children may be battling. Our words of caution: BEWARE!! In preparation, check out the film, “I Care A Lot.” It’s fiction but scary.
Our panel of speakers will include:
Linda Kincaid, MPH, co-founder of the Coalition for Elder & Dependent Adult Rights. Linda will tell us about her mother who had dementia and was convinced to cede control of her care and estate to a step granddaughter who obtained conservatorship. The step granddaughter confined Linda’s mother to a locked facility and ordered no visitors allowed other than herself.
Nancy Specter, Certified Specialist, Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law. She is also the former co-chair of the Probate and Estate Planning Section of the San Diego County Bar Association and former board member of the Alzheimer’s Association. Nancy will speak about planning documents and how to make sure they are not disregarded.

A Hybrid Event In-Person AND on Zoom
HSSD is excited to announce the long-awaited return to in-person screenings for our Right to Die Film Series. We will also livestream on Zoom for attendees who wish to participate from home. Please note that this meeting will take place at 1:30 pm on the FOURTH SATURDAY of October (10/23/2021).
October’s film selection is a delightful comedy, Grace Quigley, starring Katherine Hepburn and Nick Nolte. Grace is nearing the end of her life, living alone in her New York apartment. One day she witnesses a murder being committed by top hit-man, Seymour Flint. She decides to blackmail him into killing her, however, she has one or two friends he has to get rid of first.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, we ask that only fully vaccinated people attend the meeting in-person and wear a mask. You may also join via Zoom if you wish to participate remotely. After the discussion we invite you to walk with us to Sammy’s for snacks and socializing as we’ve done in the past. We look forward to seeing you!
