Trustees dispute over late Leiter will and Peresses case
Continued from page one the Peresses case centers on the trust set by Joseph Leiter and the appointment of trustees after Leiter’s death. William Warr and Seymour Morris are named as trustees along with two others and salaried at 360,000. The will requires all trustees to agree on replacements, leading to contested removal and disputed payments. Attorneys claim Ware acted as Leiter employee and that the will disenfranchised his claim, while questions arise over the valuation of properties and the handling of funds. Judge Sullivan faces objections to the trust’s composition as the case probes fiduciary duties and potential mismanagement by former leaders.
