Benson Family Seeks Interdiction Order From Appeals Court

The daughter and grandchildren of Saints owner Tom Benson have appealed a denial of an interdiction requested by the family that was issued by a Orleans Parish District judge. The family sought to have control of various business transferred to their control based on the “hazy” state of Mr. Benson’s memory and supposed mental incompetence. However, a recent trial found Mr. Benson to be competent to control his estate and refused to block a transfer of shares in two pro sport franchises. This suit is the latest in a series over the Benson business empire and will likely only represent the latest development in a never ending saga.
