Daughter Sues Her Mother for Swindling Away Her Inheritance

A daughter is accusing her Long Island mother of swindling away her inheritance. Elizabeth Marcus’s father left her a huge portfolio worth approximately $15 million, but now, her mother is selling the properties that belonged to Marcus in order to fund her lavish lifestyle. Marcus’s father, a real estate tycoon, demanded that his ex-wife get no portion of his estate, but she eventually gained control of their daughter’s trust, allowing her to sell its assets.
