Brooke Astor’s Son Removed as Guardian
Philanthropist Brooke Astor’s son Anthony Marshall has been permanently removed as guardian of her multimillion-dollar estate, according to a settlement announced in court in New York.
The agreement allows the 104-year-old Astor’s new guardians, Annette de la Renta and the JPMorgan Chase bank, to oversee the estate.
In July, Marshall’s son, Philip Marshall, 54, accused his father in court papers of neglecting Astor while looting her estate. He contended his frail and ailing grandmother, one of the city’s top socialites for decades, had been reduced to sleeping in a ragged gown on a filthy couch and was subsisting on pureed peas and oatmeal.
