Bank hit by second multi million suit over Redfield estate
Long Beach based Farmers and Merchants Bank and vice president Kenneth Walker face a $4.2 million claim in Orange County Superior Court from Maxit Financial Corp. The suit accuses the bank and Walker of conspiring with Oakland attorney Gerald C. Smith to gain control of multimillionaire LaVere Redfield’s estate tied to a 1200 acre Reno Lake Tahoe lease. Walker calls the suit a sham and says the bank is named for publicity. Redfield died in 1974 and a failed lease led to the legal action now filed in Nevada probate proceedings.
