This is a true-life story of how I have gone from heiress to homeless.
My father created an empire, he started out in his two-car garage in 1953. My parents were married for 30 years but their marriage ended in divorce. After the divorce, my four siblings and I helped our father's business grow tremendously. We were consistently rated at the top in quality and prompt delivery. We had everything going for us. We were respected in the industry, and we prospered as a family.
Over the years, my father amassed a fortune. When my father's health started to fail from the effects of Alzheimer's, an unscrupulous attorney working with my three older siblings produced a doctored estate plan along with illegally recorded real estate deeds. This attorney falsified company stock certificates and stole millions of dollars in cash assets.
On May 10, 2011, the FBI apprehended my three older siblings. My younger sister and I had no idea what was happening but were entirely cut off from the family and the business with no communication whatsoever. Three months later, I was standing in front of a Federal Judge with no representation and no money. My family had filed multiple lawsuits against me. This was the start of my nightmare.
After 17 lawsuits in eight years, I wrote this memoir. After my father's death in 2013, my sister and I found out that our $125,000,000.00 inheritance share was gone. I was ordered to live under an alias name and to never publicly make any reference about my family or my last name again. In working with the FBI, they told me "if I knew what was good for me, I would keep my mouth shut".
After eight years all the puzzle pieces fell into place. I have uncovered a blatant, organized white-collar scheme to strip me of my inheritance and blacken my good name. Come with me on my journey of how I have endlessly worked to uncover a corrupt system and expose a law firm and its dirty deeds.
