MORRIS BERNSTEIN
SUED FOR $15,000
AND ACCOUNTING
WILENSKY HEIRS TAKE
ACTION AGAINST PROM
INENT ATTORNEY
Beneficiaries under the will of
the late Samuel Wilensky today
made claims against Attorney Mor
ris H. Bernstein totalling more
than $15,000 as they demanded an
accounting of his doings as a co
executor of the Wilensky estate.
Attorney Emanuel Javetz filed
the demands of the beneficiaries in
the Court of Ordinary in answer to
Attorney Bernstein’s petition for
an additional $1,600 in fees for clos
ing out the estate. The beneficiar
ies who seek the accounting are
Ida G. Fine, Gertrude W. Javetz,
Joseph L. Wilensky and Solomon
Wilensky.
The beneficiaries charge Bern
stein with negligence in permit
ting Aaron Rauzin to convert to
his own use $5,500 worth of Liber
ty bonds belonging to the estate.
Through this negligence, they
charge, Bernstein has not only for
feited the right to the fee he now
seeks, but to nearly SIO,OOO in fees
and commissions • hich he has al
ready obtained from the estate for
himself.
Samuel Wilensky died in 1921.
His will named as co-executors
Bernstein, Aaron Rauzin and Mrs.
Ida G .Fine. Affairs of the estate
were brought into court when the
beneficiaries charged Rauzin had
made away with more than $5,000
worth of Liberty bonds. Brought
into court, a settlement was made.
The affairs of the estate went
along smoothly until Attorney
Bernstein sought an additional sl,-
600 in fees for himself. Then the
benefiiclaries went into court to
charge that he is responsible for
losses they sustained through
Rauzin and to demand he repay
the money he has already obtained
from the estate, along with attor
ney fees and other costs of the
action being brought against him.
They also demand that he lay
bare the record of his dealings as
executor.
The case will soon be scheduled
for a hearing before Ordinary Gor
don Saussy.
