A widow, three attorneys and a US judge

Where we are now is that one Jenny Flom, an attorney in Bergen County USA reachable via the Twitter handle @ColeSchotz, has been slotted in to ruthlessly take over all a widow (Omolola) sustained with her husband! 

Upon closing on the home with equity, she rushed to court to legalise fraud. Why are women always used against women in issues of widow abuse and widow disenfranchisement?

The headline should have read 4 attorneys! But, her introduction happened after the fact. We have included above paragraphs to share the update first. Below is the background story...

In 2016 February, while on vacation during which his temporary appointment as Economic Adviser to the VP was being discussed, a woman’s husband passed away in Nigeria as a result of a medical negligence initiated by a man who calls himself his brother.

In the same month, his brother’s wife collected the deceased’s death certificate and autopsy result and never gave it to his wife.

In March 2016 his brother engaged a lawyer to file an application for letters of administration with the Lagos High Court using the death certificate without informing the widow or seeking her consent. He filed the application in her name and his name. He was issued a bank certificate which endorsed his application without verifying the legitimacy of the application. Impersonation. Fraud. Financial 

In March 2016, he presented himself at the American Embassy as next of kin in a bid to take over properties in the USA. He notified Bergen County Surrogate Court that himself and widow have been proposed as co-administrators in Nigeria and jointly filed an application. This was a LIE. He sought to be made the administrator and later sought to be made the ancillary administrator. All without informing or notifying the wife. The Bergen Surrogate Court NEVER brought this ploy to the attention of the widow.

In April 2016, after all attempts to be made administrator or ancillary failed, in a bid to profit from his brother’s estate by filing a claim that the deceased owes him loan (unsecured with no note), he swore on oath to an affidavit and power of attorney in which he stated clearly that his deceased brother’s last address was in Bergen County New Jersey.

Without being aware of the application in Nigeria and power of attorney, the wife of the deceased filed an application for letter of administration in April 2016 and this was granted. Her domicile remained Bergen County New Jersey. The letter of administration was renewed in March 2018.

After the claim was struck out, despite the statues of limitation that bars such lawsuit, he filed in 2017 January, a lawsuit in Bergen County with the same court where the deceased wife has been granted letters of administration. Two background allegations - deceased relocated (unfounded) and the deceased owes him money (unfounded).

The judge ignored the FACTS that this filed lawsuit was by a non-American and non-Resident. It is based on impersonation and attempt to perpetrate fraud in line with illegal practice of widow disenfranchisement. It was brought after the statutes of limitation barring such. The plaintiff’s actions are clear evidence that he could not be trusted.

In March 2017, the judge gave a Case Management Order setting it forth as rules to guide the case. At no time was this repealed.

On September 20 2017 the judge encouraged both parties to settle ahead of the hearing continuing on the 21st but the deceased’s wife showed no interest in settlement until the judge met her privately to compel and coerce her to settle and took her to a room where the plaintiff and his attorney were already waiting. No lawyer or counsel was detailed to be part of the kangaroo settlement.

While settlement discussion was still ongoing the judge rushed all parties into the court room to put the settlement on record. Path was not taken, session was not explained. Proceedings was rushed with only the plaintiff’s attorney being allowed to state the terms as he understood it. The defendant mentioned clearly that the settlement was unjust.

A judge in Bergen County who did nothing to verify that this fraudster is indeed a legitimate brother, seeks to take away the rights of a widow by ordering that she be removed as administrator and a fraudster who impersonated her be awarded benefits. This was after the judge compelled the widow via a private conversation to enter into an unconscionable settlement. The judge has refused to follow the Case Management Order he set forth. The judge has refused to verify the FACTS of impersonation and fraud on the court by the Plaintiff. The judge completely ignores that the lawsuit was brought after the period set forth by the statues of limitation. This is a case of racial and gender bias as well as human rights violation. The widow has lost a 1.5M property to Wells Fargo who foreclosed it illegally. What more would she lose before you add your voice?
