Hugh Flynn on His Brother, the Conservatorship Battle, and the Fight for Family

We're about to have an incredibly moving and important conversation with Hugh Flynn about his book, SOMETHING SPECIAL BE. Hugh shares the deeply personal story of filing for conservatorship of his special needs brother, Aaron, in Los Angeles Superior Court. He walks us through the shocking turn of events when his brother required urgent surgery, and Hugh realized he had "no legal authority" to make decisions for him. This crisis led to a lengthy and expensive battle involving enormous "above the line costs" for lawyers and experts. Hugh also discusses the family dysfunction and why he ultimately had to fight siblings who did not agree with Aaron living on the West Coast, despite that being Aaron's wish. Hugh states that he didn't care about anything more than he cared about his brother, calling Aaron the "greatest person I've ever met". He reveals that the conversations and email exchanges in the book are verbatim from his archive, proving the outrage of the story. This is a must-listen for anyone navigating family care, disability, or the legal system.
