surrogate court

Robert Trump’s attempt to stop Mary’s memoir Too Much and Never Enough was dismissed in a Queens county court in New York on 25 June, with surrogate court judge Peter Kelly calling the bid to stop the book “fatally defective”.

Queens county surrogate court judge Peter Kelly said on Thursday “several improprieties” in the filing by Robert Trump, the president’s younger brother, meant the bid to stop the book was “fatally defective”.

“The law in New York says a will should be construed for people who are spouses. But the Surrogate Court said they’re not married, so that doesn’t apply.”

Judge Nora Anderson of the Surrogate Court of New York ruled in March in favor of the charities.

She was 19, and as she told the Intercept in an interview, this meant her family fell prey to the Westchester County Surrogate Court.
