Mr. Munger was hired by my family and approved by the Oakland County Probate Court as the guardian to my dad. We did not know him. He came on a recommendation by a Judge.
A week after the hearing, we arrived at the nursing home for our visit and were told by the staff that we were not allowed to see him on the orders of Mr. Munger. We called and emailed him or a week before he responded through his attorney Joseph Ehrlich.
He told us that, a review of my dad's financial records gave him concern about the ability to pay my dad's nursing home bills. ' Then we came to find out that Mr. Munger, Mr. Ehrlich and a real estate guy named Ralph Roberts had moved to sell my dad's house and all it's contents.
When we tried to stop them, Mr. Munger sent us abusive emails saying we could try to drag it out in court but, if we did, he would make sure we never saw my dad again. He billed my dad's estate thousands. My dad died alone while under Mr. Munger's guardianship. We couldn't even say goodbye. I have no idea to this day where he is buried or, if he was cremated, what happened to his ashes. My entire family is traumatized. We thought we were alone until we saw this article about him last month. It contains shocking information about Mr. Munger:

There really is not an adequate word to describe Mr. Munger and his close friend, business partner and attorney Joseph Ehrlich. To call them "evil" would be to infer humanity. The human parts of them are missing. Besides, such a word would be laughingly dismissed by both. They are pure sociopaths, lacking even a basic conscience, incapable of remorse or any kind of morality. They are spiders at the heart of a web they have constructed to ensnare the lives, bank accounts and real estate of elderly and disabled people in Oakland County and beyond. In doing so, they have violated Michigan statutes time and time again. The number of families they have destroyed is in the thousands.
Their blatant dishonesty can be found everywhere from their websites (Mr. Munger still calls himself a Public Administrator on his website. However, the journalist on the article found out he as fired from that position last year) to their accounting, to the courtroom where, in transcript after transcript, lies, even to a judge, are careless, contradictory and, in some cases, stunning in their temerity. Since no one has ever checked them until now, they fear no repercussions or have no compunction about their actions as long as the money is secure.
Munger claims he works hard and in the best interest of his wards. According to media reports, he has close to 1,600 wards despite Michigan statute limiting those numbers. A review of his Facebook page shows that he goes on vacation multiple times throughout the year.
The story above is not the only one publicly available. Last week, Munger settled out of court with the family of a ward who sued him for malpractice.
