Maine Woman Sues State For Allegedly Using Brother's Mental Incapacity To Wrestle Away Legal Control Of Decades-Family-Owned Oceanfront Real Estate & Selling It At Public Auction For Significantly Under Fair Market Value

In Liberty, Maine, Maine Public Broadcasting Network reports:
  • A Liberty woman has filed suit against the Maine Department of Health and Human Services and the Key Trust Company National Association over what she says was a breach of fiduciary duty, violation of her due process rights and the improper sale of some family property for substantially less than fair market value.

    The case arose after a member of the woman's family became incapacitated. DHHS then allegedly took over his assets, secretly sold them and had his cat euthanized without his knowledge.
