Property-mogul parents sue daughter to block secret $4.2m apartment sale

Parental love has its limits — and, in this case, it can spiral into an absolute nightmare. A bitter familial feud that has stretched on for years — including pitting brother against brother — has just reached its latest chapter, the New York Post has learned. And this time, two property-mogul parents who have co-managed a 500-unit Manhattan apartment portfolio are targeting their estranged daughter with legal action. Arthur and Ester Haruvi, aged 76 and 79, respectively, are trying to halt their 47-year-old daughter Michelle from secretly selling their two-bedroom Manhattan condo in the Sheffield for some $4.2 million ($US3 million) — claiming it’s for her to “finance and sustain her scorched-earth litigation campaign against” them, according to a bombshell federal complaint filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. They also aim to stop her from making off with all the proceeds, as well as undistributed rental income. The complaint adds it’s “part of a broader effort to weaponize the family’s assets for her own personal financial gain and to the detriment of her parents, from whom she is now estranged.” MORE: $5m feud: Inside war for Peter Brocks fortu...
