Convinced that conniving in-laws bamboozled an 86-year-old heiress, a New Jersey judge kicked the kin out of the woman's estate and reinstated a longtime financial adviser as trustee of her $30 million fortune. Judge Harry Seybolt ruled stockbroker Geoffrey Parkinson was removed as trustee for Laura Niles because of the undue influence of her sister-in-law and stepnephew. Though it lacked famous names, the litigation had elements fit for a movie: money, greed and strong-willed characters.
