Latest Battle in Ernie Banks’ Estate

The caregiver in charge of Ernie Banks’ estate wants the late Chicago Cubs player’s estranged wife to turn over records of any assets he left behind in the couple’s California home when they separated.  In a court filing, Regina Rice said Banks had “attempted to retrieve” assets from the home after he moved out in 2012 but that he was unable to get them back from his wife.  Rice has asked Cook County Probate Judge James Riley to order Banks’ wife to turn over records of any assets in her control so Rice can complete a full accounting of the estate.  A hearing on the case is scheduled for Thursday.
