George Kastrenakes and Scott Konopka represented a beneficiary in a probate dispute in Martin County probate court. Our firm successfully prosecuted claims against the personal representative for maladministration of the estate. During the proceedings, Kastrenakes used financial records to cross examine the personal representative and establish that the personal representative had wrongfully removed substantial funds from the estate. The court agreed and found that the estate was grossly maladministered by the personal representative. The judge stated stated that the maladministration was one of the worst cases he had seen. As a result, the court awarded our legal fees and ruled that the personal representative was required to refund substantial funds into the court to the benefit of our client.
