Was Teresa Forced Out? A Sudden Termination After 36 Years
Despite dedicating nearly four decades to caring for Richard and his beloved animals, Teresa claims she was abruptly dismissed by Leonard. She received a termination letter on September 17, 2024, instructing her to vacate Richard’s residence within 10 days.
She left on September 26, heartbroken over losing both her longtime employer and the home she had cared for.
“Richard was incredibly generous. He gave away collectibles and shared his possessions freely,” Teresa said in her statement.
Court-Appointed Role & Ongoing Battle for Control
In a pivotal moment last December, a judge ruled in Teresa’s favor—appointing her as interim co-trustee of Richard’s estate. This gave her the power to oversee financial decisions and ensure Richard’s final wishes were honored.
But Teresa warns that Leonard may be secretly selling off Richard’s estate. She claims he hired a real estate agent to market Richard’s home, possibly liquidating personal assets without her approval.
Now, as tensions escalate, the question remains: Will Teresa and Leonard reach a resolution, or is this just the beginning of an even bigger legal battle?
