*NOTE: Michele Burg accused Jeff of isolating Tom from everyone. Cedar Lake Village, Benton House, Clover Care, and hospitals were all open for Teresa and anyone else, including family, to see Tom.

The story that Michelle Burn is telling the Johnson County Courts is not the same story that Edward Jones is stating in a Federal investigation by FINRA.
But, the reality is that he cares for his father and is close to his father. More importantly, Tom Price enjoys his son, trusts his son, and they have a good relationship. (I am convinced of this, and believe he can convince you and the Court also.) Tom feels like Jeff, and he can work well together.”
“On the other hand, he now distrusts his daughter. Tom says, “I don’t know if I can forgive her.” He is angry and upset over this Court matter. It has stressed him. He is hurt by what he feels are lies told by his daughter. He also feels that she has not put in the effort to help him like his son has.”
“Are Tom’s feelings about Teresa as a result of Jeff negatively influencing him? I have endeavored to flush that out, and do not think it is so. You can talk to him and come to your own conclusions.”
“He would be fine somehow satisfying his daughter that his money is safe, if that is her concern.”
“I am advocating for Tom in this case because I think his wishes were not being respected and his voice was not being heard.”
I suspect that Teresa has good motives that she wants the best for her father. But frankly, my impression is that their relationship, while adequate before this, (with the usual “father/daughter issues” as Tom phrases it) has been significantly damaged by this Court action.
“The bottom line is that, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong or abnormal in Tom Price being closer with his son than his daughter, and wanting to work with his son on his matters rather than his daughter. That happens in families sometimes. But, somehow everyone seems suspicious of this.”
“He informed me that he was upset about the amount of money he was losing in his account in 2022, and wanted to discuss the fact that Edward Jones had him in some higher risk investments, which resulted in the issues at Edward Jones, mentioned in Jeff Price’s outline.”
“Mr. Price is disappointed in his Edward Jones representative because he believes that they were not honoring his wishes and possibly communicating with Teresa behind his back.”
“He was contemplating moving some assets to be managed by Creative Planning wealth investment firm. (The Power of Attorneys prepared for him in September of 2022, were done by attorneys at Creative Planning.)
“It is all of this interaction with Edward Jones as mentioned in the outline (and in Court pleadings,) that probably triggered this filing. For what it is worth, Kansas Adult Protective Services investigated and found there was no financial exploitation going on.”
