After years of preparation, discovery, document review, motions, appeals, and finally an almost two-week-long trial before the Honorable Vincent W. Versaci in Schenectady County Surrogate’s Court…a local man and woman who held Power of Attorney were ordered by a jury of their peers to return over $100,000 of monies adjudged to be taken improperly and by undue influence perpetrated against their own mother. In a 60-page jury verdict, the pair were found to have taken monies improperly for various items such as a new in-ground pool, substantial home repairs and various vacations, shopping trips, and jewelry purchases. Representing the two aggrieved brothers and the mother’s estate proved both trying and satisfying.
