NEW YORK — Her nurse was showered with almost $28 million in gifts,
including three Manhattan apartments, two homes elsewhere and a $1.2
million Stradivarius violin. Her doctors’ families received more than $3
million in presents. A night nurse received a salary plus money to
cover her children’s school tuition and to help buy two apartments.
Now the court-appointed official overseeing copper heiress Huguette Clark’s estate wants all these gifts - and more - back.
Saying
the recipients manipulated the reclusive multimillionaire into
lavishing largesse upon them during her long life, public administrator Ethel J. Griffin is trying to reclaim a whopping $37 million for the $400 million estate.

I find it odd that there's no mention of "family" caring for her or doing for her until after she's gone and now they want to contest her will.
That's what happens in a lot of cases, nobody wants to deal with the old people but once they die, they want it all!
GREED!
sounds like Ms. Griffin is a bit greedy
The accountant & laywer wouldn't let the family in. Find the entire story before you comment. It's been in the news for months.
Reminds me of a story about a homeless man who got a job at a construction co.,had a heart attack and died.You never seen so much family come to the court for the lawsuit!
Start transferring assets when you know you are on your way out.Don't leave a paper trail.Advise those to whom you bestow your wealth to keep it quiet.Isolate your will to specifically what you want your loved ones to have.Better that no one knows who to go after.Bank accounts can be put in 2 names,and the secondary to be notified in the event of your death.Narrow your will down to as few things as possible to avoid chaos.If at all possible,allow your loved ones to think you are impoverished,even if you are filthy rich.
