Guardianship Attorney Indicted for Bilking $800,000 from Incapacitated Wards

Guardianship Attorney Indicted for Bilking $800,000 from Incapacitated Wards: A forensic examination revealed that more than $800,000 of proceeds belonging to Kenneally’s wards was diverted into orthrough the personal bank accounts of Tara Howie, a former paralegal of Kenneally’s guardianship practice.

Kenneally repeatedly overpaid bills on behalf of her wards, causing the issuance of refund checks that were ultimately diverted. To further conceal the theft scheme, mandatory accountings filed by Kenneally failed to disclose the existence of checks that were ultimately deposited into Howie’s personal accounts.
