Jimmy Buffett’s Widow Accuses Financial Advisor of Breach of Trust in $275M Dispute
Following Jimmy Buffett’s death, his widow, Jane Buffett, has filed a lawsuit against his financial advisor, Richard Mozenter, alleging mismanagement of the singer’s $275 million trust. Jane Buffett claims Mozenter breached his fiduciary duty by withholding information and charging excessive fees. The dispute has escalated, with both parties seeking the other’s removal as trustee and filing lawsuits in different states, mirroring a similar conflict in Tony Bennett’s estate. Jane Buffett’s filing in Florida aims to consolidate the legal battle and seeks Mozenter’s removal, claiming the relationship is untenable.
