San Antonio estate battle
According to the San Antonio Express News, a battle is raging over the estate of San Antonio businessman and philanthropist Leo Block. Litigation is not surprising given the following: 1) Mr. Block was rich 2) He married only about a year before his death, allegedly without informing his closest family 3) The alleged involvement of a twice disciplined lawyer; and 4) The wife allegedly taking a $37,500 monthly "salary" and unsecured loans in excess of $217,000 from Mr. Block. Given the above allegations, it isn't surprising there is a will contest and allegations of elder exploitation and abuse. I'm frankly also not surprised there are allegations of wrongdoing against Mr. Block's caretakers as well. Caretakers are often in the best position on a daily basis to influence an elderly person.
