In Connecticut, a probate judge wants to remove Candace Bednarz from being thefiduciary in her murdered mother’s estate. The court has already ruled paymentsto creditors are the only distributions to be made out of the estate. The judgerecently found out that Bednarz was arrested by police her for tampering withevidence in her mothers murder prosecution. Brett Bednarz, Candace’s brother,has pending charges against him for killing his mother, Beverly Therrien.

Therrien’s most recent will has notbeen found and her 2006 will was deemed invalid. As a result, state law specifiedher children as her heirs. The 2006 will cut Candace Bednarz from receiving anyestate assets. However, Candace Bednarz petitioned the court to control theestate’s assets claiming the entire estate only held $35,000 dollars. Accordingto her arrest warrant, she has withdrawn well over $90,000 dollars in cash.
