Absolutely agree.
Atty Weinstein has allegedly said that Fd was selling furniture on Ebay to raise some cash. And these comments from our favourite (not) 'reposter' from the HC IMO are quite telling:
Dueling probate cases to be filed in Fotis Dulos death -- including one by Jennifer Farber Dulos’ mother
Quotes from article:
Since Farber Dulos is missing, Fotis’ Dulos’ parents are both dead, and his five children are minors, one of Dulos’ closest relatives is Farber, who has been taking care of the couple’s five children since Jennifer disappeared May 24.
Dulos apparently didn’t leave a will naming an executor or a beneficiary.[BBM]
But attorney Norm Pattis said Friday that he would fight Farber from having any control, given the acrimonious relationship between them.
“We obviously are taking actions ourselves to open an estate on behalf of Mr. Dulos and we don’t think that Mrs. Farber should have any involvement,” Pattis said. “This is Mr. Dulos’ estate to be administered not Mrs. Farber’s."
Attorney Richard Weinstein, who represents Gloria Farber, said Friday that he also plans to open a probate estate for Dulos as a major creditor with a stake in some of the properties owned by The Fore Group, Dulos’ home building company.
Weinstein said that he wouldn’t allow Gloria Farber to personally administer the estate because there are clear conflicts — she is suing her son-in-law, arguing that he owes more than $2 million to the estate of her deceased husband, Hilliard Farber. That action is pending.
“I will ask there be a temporary administrator appointed,” Weinstein said. “I don’t expect they’ll be a positive money flow from his estate.
He was selling furniture from the house on eBay so he had no funds.”[BBM]
Fotis Dulos is dead, leaving behind the mystery of what happened to Jennifer Farber Dulos »
Weinstein said if there was anything left of the estate after all the creditors were satisfied the money would go to his children.
Since there are two petitions to administer Dulos’ estate, the judge will have to hold a hearing to determine which one is more qualified. That hearing would likely take place quickly and each side would have to present who they would chose to be the administrator.
Weinstein said anybody can open a probate case on behalf of someone who has died, but in this case Gloria Farber has a major interest in the estate, particularly Dulos’ Jefferson Crossing home in Farmington.
Gloria Farber has a $2.3 million mortgage on the Jefferson Crossing home and is required to pay $21,000 in property taxes that Dulos has not paid. A trust on her behalf recently filed a foreclosure notice for the house.
