King Lear's Curse: An Improvident Gift in New Jersey

Like the tragic figure King Lear, many of our aged family members and friends are connived out of their life’s savings by false demonstrations of love and affection offered by relatives and others who have managed to nurture a personal confidence with their unsuspecting victims. Others are manipulated into executing a Will that effectively disinherits their family or loved ones and directs a transfer of wealth to a virtual stranger.

It is important for anyone who has been beguiled into gifting money or assets to another where an improper influence may have been asserted, to know that the “gift” may be retrieved. For more information on issues of this nature visit the Library Section of this website and read the article published by Frank T. Luciano, titled “Retrieving an Improvident Gift in New Jersey.”

On the other hand, anyone who believes that a will was improperly executed by a family member or friend, may want to read another article written by Frank T. Luciano in the Library Section of this website titled “Will Contests: The Struggle After Death in New Jersey."

Frank T. Luciano has been litigating cases involving defective wills and unduly influence gifting for many years. Some of his cases involved assets and estates that were worth over a million dollars
