Conservator Charges $437 for Soap Run

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

The court appointed conservator for a Sumner County woman, who was placed under court control despite her protest, charged $437.50 to pick up shampoo and soap for her ward, court records show.
Records in the case of Reba Sherrill, who was placed under a conservatorship at the request of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, show the shopping trip, which took 2.5 hours, was just one of dozens of charges billed by Cathryn Armistead, who was appointed as conservator over Reba Sherrill.
Overall Armistead has requested payment of $13,298.50 at the rate of $175 an hour.
Other items on the 11-page payment request filed by Armistead in Davidson Probate Court include $595 to attend an August hearing on the conservatorship case and $297.50 to go to Regions Bank to check on a bank balance and set up a new account for the conservatorship.
Sherrill has fought the conservatorship and eventually managed to have her brother replace Armistead as her conservator.
Other items on Armistead's bill include $577.50 to attend a recent hearing in the case and $560 to prepare for that hearing.
Armistead, in response to questions, indicated she expects Sherrill's brother, who was appointed as her conservator, to be responsible for paying her bill.
