On June 4, 2014, New York State Supreme Court Judge Hon. Sharon A.M. Aarons entered a Decision on an Article 81 Proceeding commenced by Bashian & Farber, LLP., granting our client a complete victory. Our client, the son of an elderly man suffering from cognitive decline, was concerned that his father’s assets of over $1 million dollars were being improperly taken by his step-mother against the wishes of his father who had previously drafted estate planning documents with the intent of providing all of his assets for the care of his disabled daughter. The son was further concerned that his step-mother was not able to take care of his father’s personal or financial affairs and sought to have a Guardian appointed.
