A
family feud is brewing in the Glantz clan, with Robert Glantz, a scion of the White Plains real estate dynasty, taking his brother Paul to court over access to the family business's financial records. The dispute centers on Robert's demand for a comprehensive accounting of Glantz Realty and its 14 affiliated entities.
According to the complaint filed in Westchester Supreme Court, Robert seeks unfettered access to all books and records, including tax returns, meeting minutes, balance sheets, and bank statements. He claims that without this information, he is unable to determine whether his brother's management decisions are sound or if funds are being misallocated.
The Glantz family's real estate empire was founded by their father, Irwin, who built a vast portfolio of properties in Connecticut, including the North Street Shopping Center in Danbury. After Irwin's passing in 2015 and his wife Gene's death in 2016, Paul took on control of day-to-day operations, while Robert remained largely absent from the business.
Robert's attorney, Albert J. Pirro Jr., has been pushing for full disclosure since last year, but Paul's lawyer has only provided select documents. The complaint alleges that this lack of transparency has left Robert in the dark about the financial health of the companies he co-owns with his brother.
