MANHATTAN — Huguette Clark, the 104-year-old heiress whose lawyer is accused of mishandling her $500 million fortune, was declared "not lucid" by Manhattan prosecutors, the New York Daily News reported.
Clark doesn't have "all of her facilities" and has poor vision and hearing, the paper reported.
Clark's lawyer, Wallace Bock, previously claimed she was well aware of decisions made about her finances and just chose not to meet with family, friends. He also claimed she gave him and his family the millions in gifts they received.
Earlier this month a judge shot down the request of Clark's distant relatives to appoint an independent guardian to take care of her finances — and keep Bock away.
Family members told the judge they were suspicious of a $1.5 million gift Clark made to an Israeli settlement where Bock's daughter lives, the News reported.
The Manhattan DA's office began investigating Irving Kamsler, Clark's accountant and Bock last month.
