Heiress Determined Not Lucid By Manhattan Prosecutors

092210clark.jpg After an investigation into a possible mishandling of heiress Huguette Clark's fortune by her lawyer, Wallace Bock, a judge determined that her money would stay in Bock's hands. Bock claims the 104-year-old is perfectly lucid and ordered her family be kept away, but investigators met with the reclusive woman recently and found she "does not have all her faculties, and her vision and hearing are poor." Now they're checking to see if there have been any "suspicious transfers" from her bank account. Clark's family originally became suspicious after finding she made a $1.5 million "donation" to an Israeli settlement where Bock's daughter lives.

    "When investigators arrived for their first interview with Clark, they learned [Wallace] Bock had just been there to have her sign legal documents, the source said."

    Covering his tracks?

    It's a disgrace that Judge Laura Visitacion-Lewis ruled against the appointment of an independent guardian to handle Huguette Clark's fortune and other personal affairs. This very elderly incapacitated woman is at the mercy of those jackals.

    probably plenty of other "donations" as well once you check just a little more.
