Estate Of Late NASCAR Driver Greg Biffle Accused Of Offloading Millions In Assets Amid Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Greg Biffle’s estate is facing allegations that millions of dollars in assets have been sold or distributed while wrongful death lawsuits over the plane crash that killed him and six others remain ongoing. The administrator of one claimant’s estate has asked a court to freeze further transactions and appoint a neutral person to manage Biffle’s estate.
Elena Smith, administrator of Craig Wadsworth’s estate, alleges that Biffle’s niece and estate administrator Jordyn Biffle Carpenter sold $1.6 million in property without accounting for the proceeds, and that a yacht worth more than $4 million is being offered for sale despite not appearing in the estate inventory. Smith also alleges that a recently signed will naming other estate managers was concealed and valuable memorabilia was given away. Wadsworth’s estate is seeking more than $10 million; the estates of pilot Dennis Dutton and his son are seeking $30 million, alleging inadequate aircraft maintenance contributed to the December 2025 crash. A hearing on Smith’s request is scheduled for the second week of November.
In short
- Biffle’s estate faces claims of undisclosed asset sales and distributions.
- A claimant’s administrator wants a freeze and a neutral estate manager.
- Wrongful death lawsuits seek more than $40 million combined.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Smith’s request to freeze transactions and appoint a neutral manager could protect assets that may be needed to satisfy valid claims, while ensuring all sales and distributions are properly documented. The alleged unlisted yacht, unaccounted-for property proceeds and undisclosed will raise questions that a court-supervised review could resolve fairly for claimants and heirs alike.
The case against
The allegations remain unproven, and an estate administrator may have legitimate reasons to sell property, distribute assets or manage valuable items during ongoing litigation. Freezing transactions or replacing the administrator could impose costs and delay ordinary estate work; any intervention should therefore be based on evidence that assets are at risk or that the estate is not being managed properly.
