The partner’s estate challenged our client’s claim to sole ownership of five Greenwich Village apartment buildings pursuant to the partnership agreement. Schillinger & Finsterwald defeated false claims that the deceased partner was mentally incompetent when he signed the parties’ partnership agreement. The Supreme Court granted summary judgment declaring our client to be sole owner of five apartment buildings and dismissed the estate’s claims of fraud, undue influence, and breach of contract.

Schillinger & Finsterwald thereafter successfully defeated an appeal by the Estate and obtained an appellate decision upholding the lower court’s ruling in our client’s favor.
