Kasler Vs. Seidlin

A wealthy, elderly widow is suing her neighbors, former Broward Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin and his wife, but doesn't seem to know why, according to a deposition transcript.

Barbara Kasler, 84, said under oath Feb. 15 that she liked the Seidlins, gave them gifts and could not remember what they did wrong to her.

A lawsuit filed in Kasler's name says the woman, whose wealth has been estimated at $5 million, is accusing Seidlin of siphoning off her money and trying to hijack her estate upon her death.

State investigators have twice cleared Seidlin, 59, of exploiting Kasler.

"There's nothing alleged in this lawsuit that has not already been fully investigated," one of Seidlin's attorneys, Theo Kypreos, said Friday. "Using Barbara Kasler's own words … they were 'like family.' "

The lawsuit alleges Seidlin feigned friendship with Kasler, who lives in the same Fort Lauderdale condo as the onetime judge and his family, and fleeced her of hundreds of thousands in checks, credit card purchases and the sale of her property.

  1. The good old "Sunshine State". You can bet if you or I were the neighbor who Barbara Kasler thought of "like family" the "Sunshine State" would not bother to investigate once. We would be guilty!! period

  2. Just because she can't remember doens't mean Seidlin isn't guilty.

    Let the evidence speak!

  3. Any one could tell during the Anna Nicole trials what this guy was after - only his own selfish needs such as money and fame. I hope they bring him to justice.

  6. Can you imagine the Seidlin's come calling at your house?

    Barbara Kasler did not profit from this relationship, the Seidlin's did.

    The only reason the Seidlin's "cared" about Kasler is because she had something they wanted and they got it.

    Timelines and bank records do not lie; people lie.
