Introduction
My name is Robert Gettinger, I'm the son of Gertrude Gettinger who immigrated to Los Angeles from Canada in 1959 with her husband Franz and two Children Sylvia and Robert.
I was a police officer for the city of Los Angeles from 1980-1988. I attended Pasadena Art Center college of design and Los Angeles Valley college. I was the sole person who cared and helped our mother.
Our mother worked her entire life as a maid and housekeeper to provide for her family. She raised Sylvia and myself putting us through school and college. In our teens our parents divorced leaving our mother to raise us alone. I kept in contact with both my parents while Sylvia sided with our mother and showed obvious hate and anger towards our father after the separation.
My sister Sylvia moved out of the home in 1982 when she married her first husband. She never had a close relationship with anyone in our family. She did not speak or see our father after 1972 when our parents separated. She failed to stay in contact with our mother and rarely called or visited.
Sylvia's relationship with our mother was even more strained when she demanded a divorce from her first husband Ralph Velasco. Sylvia had an affair with Gary A. Schmidt who was married with a wife who was pregnant in the hospital with their first child (Hallie Schmidt) at the time.
When problems started
July 19, 2001 Franz L. Gettinger our father passes away. His daughter Sylvia is disinherited since she was estranged from him for over 35 years. Sylvia accuses me of influencing our father and cheating her out of her inheritance. She left threatening phone messages at my home regarding our father and the inheritance. I've included dated emails which correspond with her phone messages and threats. (see audio and emails)
What happened to our mother
Sylvia Schmidt removed $200,000.00 from Gertrude Gettinger's bank accounts plus cash, personal documents, family jewelry, gold and silver from her home (prior to our mother's conservatorship 12/08/2006) . To stop Gertrude from reporting the crimes Sylvia fabricated events and stories that our mother was suffered from dementia and mental illness. Sylvia's claims of events vary depending on date and who she's reporting to.
She claimed Gertrude's home had numerous attempted burglaries to cover missing property but she never filed a police report. Instead Sylvia perjured a petition for conservatorship forcing Gertrude to be locked in a nursing home and over medicated with psychological drugs to stop her from exposing the crimes against her.
September 2006 LAPD Hollywood division police report documents Gertrude's home was burglarized by Sylvia who used a spare key to enter the premises. Gertrude's property deed, financial documents, credit cards, car and home keys, cash, passport, INS documents were all stolen. Electronics, radios, TV etc. were untouched.
Gertrude named Sylvia and Gary A. Schmidt as the sole suspects. The report included the statement "Sylvia and her husband Gary were attempting to force Gertrude to sign a power of attorney". The fact only specific financial and identification items were stolen highlights the motive of identity theft. (See Police Report)
October 2006 Sylvia complains to APS and Mental Health that Gertrude is suffering from mental problems. Sylvia has been estranged from her mother for over 24 years and is forbidden access to her mother's home yet she is makes states as if she were an actual witness. When Sylvia first complained to APS they sent a psychiatric support team "Genesis" to investigate. Genesis cleared Gertrude and did not find any problems. Sylvia claims her mother had lost a great deal of weight, yet Sylvia never brought her food. Sylvia claimed her mother did not pay her utility bills yet Gas company records show she did pay them and when her mail was forwarded to another address she over paid them to ensure utilities were not turned off These are not the actions of a mentally ill person.
November 2006 Gertrude is removed by APS against her wishes from her 6 unit apartment complex she owned and managed herself. APS acted due to letters and legal threats written by Sylvia. Gertrude was working and driving a car prior to her removal. Gertrude was in the process of selling her home and moving back to Austria to retire with life time friends.
November 2006 Sylvia Schmidt and lawyer Christopher E. Overgaard perjure their petition to conserve Gertrude Gettinger. Gertrude has no medical history of mental illness. They fail to notify me claiming they had no address. Approximately $200,000.00 in bank accounts goes unreported. Probate department is unable to do full accounting when Sylvia provides the incorrect address. Sylvia and Gary Schmidt purchase real property in the Santa Clarita Valley which may be how bank accounts were transferred from Gertrude's name.
I notice something wrong at my mothers home and attempt to contact Sylvia via phone and email. Sylvia ignores my calls and emails. Months later I'm given a false account of events, statements and Sylvia refuses to reveal where she moved our mother. Sylvia fails to inform me she's formed a conservatorship. She fails to inform the court about contact with me.
Sylvia tells me due to a lack of funds there's work I need to do at our mother's home in preparation for renting out apartments. On three separate occasions my wife and I go to my mother's home to demo a wall, remove debris and do cleaning. Sylvia promises to meet but each time fails to appear, instead sends a paid friend. Sylvia leaves messages that she will not show up. Later in legal accounting I found she's billing our mother's estate for the work my wife and I had performed for no charge and for work she never performed.
Due to Sylvia's odd behavior, statements and dishonesty I located the case number and lawyers involved in the conservatorship. I emailed Violet Boskovich PVP for Gertrude. She forwarded my concerns and email to Christopher Overgaard who informed Sylvia yet they did nothing.
Sylvia's intention has always bin to liquidate our mothers estate. Knowing her mother and brother did not want to sell anything Sylvia misled us. Sylvia told Gertrude she intended to trade her home for a nicer one in Santa Monica where it would be safer for her to reside. Sylvia sent legal forms allowing me to object to the sale to the wrong address. Sylvia lied, telling me her intentions were to rent our mothers apartment complex to help pay our mother's costs.
Sylvia misled the court by asking for permission to trade the property to avoid sales taxes. Once the sale was completed Sylvia changed her story stating she could not find an appropriate exchange property. Sylvia misled the court stating she could not find a suitable property thus she requested investing all proceeds into stocks. This was against suggestions of a financial consultant Sylvia hired who recommended renting the property over selling.
None of Gertrude's estimated 2 million dollars has bin in blocked accounts as required by law. The court never pursued the matter only an expensive bond was filed. Sylvia's goal is to have control of Gertrude's finances so when she passes she'll have complete possession.
Court documents show Sylvia blamed me for $200,000k in missing bank accounts. She claims she had no contact with me for 10 years. She and her lawyer claimed they hired a Private Investigator named Michael Jay who could not locate me. They reported I was using another name and living in another country. They could not find the current address I've been using for the past 16 years and which Sylvia had used in the past.
I have cashed checks, greetings cards, emails and phone messages proving Sylvia has my phone number, address and was in contact with me. Sylvia provided documents with the address she claimed not to possess during discovery.
PVP Boskovich never informed the court I appeared, emailed her and after numerous meetings with my mother failed to inform her that she had contact with her son. Documents were submitted to the court proving perjury and crimes committed by Sylvia Schmidt and attorney Christopher Overgaard. Overgaard was replaced by the President of the Pasadena Bar Philip Barbaro Jr. Barbaro never denied the perjury or allegations instead lied to the court stating I was in a fishing expedition.
Judge Coleman Swart stated if the allegations were found to be true he would offer me the option to be conservator of my mother. This led me to file for the conservatorship. The court ordered a neutral doctors exam to determine Gertrude's capacity to make a will or testify in court. Gertrude has requested but was always denied any chance to appear in court. Sylvia went beyond sending payment to the doctor and included a letter of false information. She failed to include a complete medical record, highlighted negative events and left out positive evidence of Gertrude's medical history.
Dr. Yegiazaryan (Psychiatrist) performed a full psychological evaluation and determined Gertrude does not suffer from Dementia or Alzheimer, instead suffers from depression and a mini stroke. She warned Sylvia Gertrude should be taken off dangerous medications, especially Haldol. Sylvia changed doctors to Dr. Said Jacob who continues prescribing Haldol.
Dr. Liu (MD) removed himself from the care of Gertrude due to abuse, language and dangerous actions by Sylvia stating "He did not want to take a chance of losing his license, Sylvia's a Doctor Jeckel and Mr. Hyde". She can be charming at one moment and angry and abusive the next". Sylvia was demanding unauthorized medication changes against doctors orders.
Judge Swart retires and is replaced by Candace Beason in 2008. Gertrude witnessed her stolen jewelry at Sylvia's home that she reported September 2006. In retaliation Sylvia filed a false police report of Elder abuse against me at LAPD Hollywood Division.
Sylvia uses the false Elder Abuse Police report against me informing the judge and PVP I am abusing our mother. No charges filed no evidence of any crime. The mere face that a report was filed against me falsely bias the court.
Judge Beason ignores perjury, failure to notify family and other crimes. Discovery of medical records prove Sylvia misled doctors and gave false accounts of events. Sylvia manipulated doctors and medications causing medical and psychological complications.
Sylvia refuses to provide records and documents requested in discovery. She had no billing for a Private Investigator, address or proof of his existence. California PI public records show no licensed investigator named "Michael Jay". Lawyer Overgaard never personally served Gertrude as required by law. Dr. Tucker who completed mental capacity forms did not have 2 years of dementia experience required by law.
Nursing home notes give different accounts of events where Sylvia was not present. Notes reveal Sylvia was notified during an emergency when Gertrude had breathing problems and Sylvia failed to act.
Staff notes prove Gertrude refused (1) pill a stool softener. Sylvia claimed Gertrude refused all medications. The result Gertrude is forced dangerous psychotropic drug injections of Haloperidol. Sylvia warned by Doctors of the dangers continues requesting bigger dozes.
Notes show conflicting accounts given by Sylvia to Dr. Trader who was performed the neutral examination. Sylvia states Gertrude ran naked down the halls, screaming at all hours of the night. Official notes state, Gertrude was waiting wearing a night gown in her room for a medication nurse. The nurse forgets her medication. Tells Gertrude to wait she'll return and leaves. Gertrude cooperates, waits and is found hours later at her doorway collapsed on the floor. She's heard calling for the nurse and seen on closed circuit video by staff.
Mid 2006 Gertrude's mail is no longer delivered to her home. Unaware mail is forwarded to Sylvia Schmidt's home prior to being conserved. Gertrude thought someone was stealing her mail from her mail box, she removed her mail box so the mail carrier would use the door slot.
Actions of a logical person not a mentally ill one. Sylvia states "mother ripped her mail box off the wall" as if she's mentally ill to support her petition.
Ralph Velasco, Sylvia's first husband is contacted by Gertrude. He visits and witnesses what's going on. He calls Sylvia asking about what he witnessed and he's told not to help her. In Velasco's deposition he states Sylvia hated her father and never had contact with him. She was angered when he visited her father with me. He gave accounts how Sylvia never had a good relationship anyone in her family. Sylvia asked him not give me any info as to our mother.
What happened to me
While Gertrude was conserved without notice my family possessions at my former home were destroyed, sold or thrown away by Sylvia. PVP Boskovich and Philip Barbaro Jr. filed false police reports and perjured objections to stop discovery and subpoena's for missing bank accounts. Judge Beason failed to read my petitions and was unfamiliar with the case. Boskovich failed to inform the court I had contact with her. She failed to investigate 2 missing bank accounts. I stopped my legal proceeding when it was apparent PVP and the court were biased.
January 2011 Sylvia's lawyer files a false police report with Police stating I threatened family and the court. I'm arrested then released no charges filed. It's revealed Judge Aviva K. Bobb is influences police to act. The DA failed to file charges since no crime had been committed. The report contained statements by Sylvia and were censored .
Current Situation
Sylvia has possession of over 2 million dollars, in unblocked bank accounts, She bills our mother $40 an hour or $40,000 a year to be conservator, she bills for work not perform or needed. She invades unannounced Gertrude's nursing home room with a key made without permission. She places and removes items unannounced to confuse and molest our mother. While Gertrude attends meals or doctor visits she removes court documents, leaves misleading items, removes personal items to confuse our mother and make her feel unsafe.
She has our mother's mail forwarded to her home then bills $40 an hour to re-deliver personal mail. Doctors are lied to and manipulated with false stories and events leading them to believe Gertrude has symptoms of mental illness. Gertrude has been isolated and denied family visits for over 4 years. The court is misled with lies to support Sylvia's actions and fees.
Conclusion
A child who never had a positive relationship with a parent was able to take over her parents life and finances by perjuring documents. Sylvia stole personal possessions, cash and over $200k in bank accounts. A conservatorship based on perjury is being used to hide crimes and isolate the victim. Fraudulent billing is submitted to the court, unnecessary legal costs are billed to victims draining her life savings. The court does not act when informed of crimes and abuse. Those involved in the crime and those who ignore the abuse and crimes should be prosecuted.

The System of "Trustee" and Guardianship is Heavily Corruptible and in the Case of Elders it Seems that it's down right EVIL. The Joseph Ludwig Ziarnik is an Example of the Rampant Corruption in the Elder Care, "Trustee" Racket. Check Out the Story of Richard Block, Sally Griffin of Devon Bank Chicago and the Estate of Joseph Ludwig Ziarnik.
"There is NO legislation in the Trust and Savings Act. Trustees are on an "honor system" and can do whatever they want." It seems there is a trend of a Trustee Stepping in and taking over the finances of Elderly Men and Woman whom get forced into the system by corrupt social workers, judges, attorneys, and the Trustee that hands out their Victims Money. A Trustee's Abuse of Power is unchecked by any government agency or oversight, time for that to change. You are NOW accountable to Citizen Journalists, Corruption Bloggers, and Whistle Blowers.
"87 year-old Polish-German Immigrant who came here on a student visa in the 1950’s.
He is a good American citizen – real estate agent, foreign language teacher and translator for our own court system. He also saved every penny he made except for his indulgence in books. Rare books – Polish, German, etc. He gathered thousands of them, traveled the world to collect them.
Then he met his attorney who set him up with a trust account. The bank trustee hired him a ‘care manager’ who hired him a doctor to call him incompetent then a guardianship hearing ensued. I don't need to tell you what happened to this poor soul other than to say the hired care manager became his guardian.
I was his caregiver, his best friend, his family and he was mine. I became collateral damage.
In short, as of June 2008 this man had a half a million dollars in cash. Along with his property, he was worth close to a million dollars. He had two wishes – to buy a new car and to die in the home he lived in for the past 46 years.
His bank trustee said no to the first wish for the simple fact that he can’t drive anymore. (In my opinion, when you have that kind of money, if a new car puts a spring in your step and makes you look forward to your Sunday drive, why not buy him one? Or just lease one for him and pretend it’s his?)
As of September 2009, they cleaned out his basement and his book collection was removed by a junkman. They also took his personal correspondence, his family photographs, etc. Devon Bank ransacked his home and stole his personal possessions.
He was hospitalized in November 2009 and told me that they’re “buying him a home” but he doesn’t want to move. He had over a half a million dollars two years ago. He also owns a four-unit apartment building with rental income that "should be" coming in from three of the units.
Will he get his dying wish to stay home?
He opened his trust account at Devon Bank. His attorney is Janna Dutton. This is my story as his caregiver. "
"I wrote the problem on a website for Seniors. The moderator responds with, ‘Call Adult Protective Services’ and I do.
Laurie Sherry comes out to talk to Ludwig and he doesn’t want to say anything in regard to the two lady friends ripping him off for fear of retribution and I’m love with the woman because all she says is, ‘Do you think what they’re doing to you is fair?’ Of course not and he says as much. She’s going to talk with them on his behalf.
I tell her that he needs to write a will, he needs to get his financial affairs together and I’m fed up with his money. It’s got to get away from us because he can’t manage it anymore and after seeing how nasty it makes people, I don’t want it anywhere near us. So, Laurie hands Ludwig a list of attorneys’ to call and tells him that he needs to write a will but he doesn't want to. He’s not ready to die yet.
She talks with his two lady friends and instead of stopping, they take him out for lunch at $80 a pop. And if you think they hated me before, these two ladies are furious with me. I’m not going to get into all their petty nonsense either. Like I said, I don’t take it personally. If Ludwig had another caregiver trying to protect him, these two ladies would attack that person too. It was the money they were after and whomever stood in their way to get their hands on it, got abused and slandered. It’s that simple.
So, I notify Laurie of the lunch dates, she puts an end to those then we lose touch for a few months and Ludwig is being taken advantage of by contractors. Now, Laurie is very insistent that he write a will and set up his financial affairs. I couldn’t agree more."
"In walk Sally and Rick from Devon Bank. Let me say now that everything they told me and Ludwig (before they had his money) was a lie - from start to finish.
The only thing they promised to do and kept was hire Josh Mitzen. I thought he was the owner of a caregiving agency (until Laurie Sherry from Elder Protective Services told me otherwise) because every time I mentioned to Sally that I needed a new one for his weekend care, she said that she was hiring Josh.
I found out later that he’s a court appointed guardian, who’s an attorney and worked for Elder Protective Services. You see where this is going, don’t you? Yes, they're hiring him for my position. Just setting Josh up in order to slander me, gain control of Ludwig's estate then divvy it up amongst their friends.
Sally told Ludwig that she wouldn’t do anything with his money without asking him. She said this so much that if the man were lying in a coma, he’d hear her. She won’t hire anyone without his approval, he can have anything he wants to buy, she won’t interfere - all he had to do was tell me to make the call and the money would be there. That was an ENORMOUS lie. Ludwig had a tenant in his building and her boyfriend moved in. He was on parole for attempted murder, was a skinhead, we were scared of him, the tenant had no lease and was behind in her rent. They said that they would evict them. They’d also leave Ludwig’s checking account alone at the bank by the house, etc., etc. Like I said, the lies were endless except for Josh Mitzen.
The second time they came over together, they stopped by with people who would manage Ludwig’s property and a contractor to remodel his empty apartment.
That was when Rick Block started bragging about Ludwig's money. He said, ‘I’ve got free reign over the old man’s half a million dollars!’ He was like a little kid in a candy store. After he said it, I said to myself, ‘I’ve got free reign over the Internet!’ He pulls any funny business and I’ve got no problem publishing it.
To be honest, I got scared of him because he has no business behaving that way. I mean, I spent years watching people get excited over Ludwig’s money and now I have a bank trustee doing it. So, I wouldn’t let them see my apartment because it wasn’t mine. It belonged to Ludwig's sister in Germany for her visits. They’d know it and kick me out faster.
Even though I couldn’t get my brain wrapped around the scam, every other part of my being was screaming that the whole thing stinks. I just couldn’t come to terms with the fact that I called Elder Protective Services (run by Catholic Charities) to protect a man from being financially exploited and they set him up to do exactly that by a bunch of professionals.
Rick and Sally were standing on the back porch saying that they owed the contractor a job and I was thinking that was payback time using my Seniors money. I asked Sally why she was hiring a realty company to manage the building and she said, ‘What am I going to if a pipe breaks at twelve o’clock at night?’ Well, a pipe didn’t break at midnight but something else happened. I assure you, Sally wasn’t disturbed by it nor was the realty company that she hired. You can’t get a hold of them.
This was when I started keeping notes of everything those two bank trustees did. My intuition told me that I wasn’t going to be around for very long because it was their intention to establish their reputation on the back of my Senior. My brain kept ignoring me though, not enough to stop me from writing it all down."
