A Connecticut mother reportedly received an unusual gift for her 98th birthday from her eldest son -- eviction papers.
Mary Kantorowski, who has lived in the same Fairfield, Conn., home since 1953, is now facing eviction from her yellow, Cape Cod-style home valued at $333,410, the Connecticut Post reports. Her son Peter Kantorowski, 71, a retired taxidermist, said he's doing it for her own good.
"She would be better off living with people her own age," he told the newspaper.
According to Probate Court records, Mary Kantorowski and her husband, John, agreed to transfer the house to a trust administered by Peter Kantorowski on the condition that Mary would live there until her death, and upon her death, the house would go to Peter and his younger brother, Jack, the newspaper reports.
In July 2005, however, Peter Kantorowski quitclaimed the house from that trust to another he and his wife control, giving him ownership of the house. Six years later, in Dec. 13, 2011, his mother's 98th birthday, Peter Kantorowski had his mother served with eviction papers.
"This is just a despicable situation," said Richard Bortolot Jr., a Stratford lawyer appointed by Fairfield Probate Judge Daniel Caruso to represent Mary Kantorowski. "Mary has been living here happily paying all the expenses for the house and now her son, Peter, comes along and is telling her, 'Get the hell out,' so he can sell it."
"My husband worked hard, difficult jobs to buy this house," Mary Kantorowski told the Connecticut Post. "He built the garage and did a lot of work on the house and he told me never to leave it."

“Baby Boomer” SCUM!
The son is not a baby boomer, he is to old. (started 1946)
I’ll guess there is a special spot in hell for vermin like him. What he doesn’t seem to remember is that he is only about twenty years behind his mother.
Still SCUM!
At least he didn’t push her down the stairs. Yeah, she would be so much better off if he had her money in his pocket. Scum.
Taxidermist with a mommy issue, hmmm. Put her in the root cellar, boy!
This could end very badly. I think maybe she should get out while she still can.
Apparently, the older son served his mother eviction papers on her birthday.
From the article: “Bortolot, who is not being paid to represent Mary Kantorowski, said shortly after serving his mother with eviction papers, Peter Kantorowski attempted to put the house up for sale. He was stopped by subsequent Probate Court proceedings. During one of those proceedings, it was determined Peter Kantorowski had wrongly taken on his mother’s power of attorney, using her money for his expenses.”

Such hate. And greed.
wow, he’s COLD.
He could get a whole new spin from the press by saying that the house uses too many carbon credits. That darn old house needs to be sold in order to be upgraded with “clean enery” technologies.
“She would be better off living with people her own age,”
Most people of her age no longer lives in this world.
Looks like his morbid assumption was wrong and she has lived 15-20 years longer than he was planning on.
He sounds like the guy who tried to pick off Jeanne Calment when she was 90 and he was 47 with a similar deal. He died at 77 and she was still alive.
Sounds to me like self-dealing and breach of fiduciary duty by the trustee [son]. I bet Mom has a good case to undo the conveyance to the second trust, and maybe to remove Sonny as a beneficiary of the first trust.
Just glad his name isn’t Norman.
It sound to me like he could be guilty of elderly abuse since he talk them into the trust then behind her back transferred it and at the same time used her money.He should be send to jail for this.
If he has children, they have a role model on how to treat parents when they get in the way.
We had a lady (age 90) here in town who did the right thing....gave the main house to her gandchildren and she lives in the tensant house. Was stunned...but she just wanted it to pass to the ones that needed it the most. An extraordinary woman!!
I saw this on the local news but didn’t realize it was a local story.
