Complaint review committee recommends refusal of Sandra Evenson’s guardianship certification, $500 penalty

The Complaint Review Committee of the Guardianship Certification Advisory Board recommended on Oct. 21 that the commission permanently refuse to approve Sandra Evenson’s private professional guardianship certification and assess an administrative penalty of $500, after staff alleged she continued to act as a guardian following a prior revocation.

The recommendation follows a complaint filed March 25, 2025, by Melinda Sacedo, a compliance manager with the commission, alleging that Evenson continued to act as a certified guardian after the commission revoked her certification in August 2023. Staff reported finding a violation of commission rule 7.2(a)(1), that the respondent did not submit an answer or return calls or emails, and that the committee should recommend a permanent refusal and the $500 penalty due within 12 months after the final order.
