There was finally an update today about Cindy's health and care.

A judge has put Cindy under a temporary conservatorship in which county officials would oversee her care and finances following a dispute over who has rightful legal control over her affairs. In agreeing to appoint a conservator, the judge described Cindy's situation as urgent.

Today, the judge said he was suspending both Mr. Herman’s and Ms. Lander’s power of attorney papers, saying that any property of Cindy's that they hold should be turned over to the temporary conservator.

Cindy's son attended the hearing. Mr Herman and Ms Lander did not. Ms Lander is still living in the apartment that she shared with Cindy, but is not paying rent. She also will not respond to messages for comment.

After this temporary conservatorship, the court is scheduled to consider whether to grant a permanent conservatorship over Cindy's affairs this month with her family members including her brother and son .

Cindy is described as having been “in a vegetative state” since May.

This is a sad story.
