## Summary

Constance “Connie” Milstein, an 80-year-old heiress, has sued her brother Philip and daughters Abigail and Joanna, alleging they cut off her regular payments and are trying to take control of $2.5 million in her name. The dispute matters because it has brought a new generation of the wealthy family into a long-running fight over its business and trusts.

Her petition says trustees stopped monthly distributions of $125,000 in summer 2025 and that a separate $2.5 million demand was used to pressure her in settlement talks. Her relatives dispute her account and have asked the court to dismiss the case, arguing the trust primarily benefits her daughters and that she spent about $23.5 million in recent years. The family’s assets are estimated at $3.1 billion; the article describes the latest case as following an earlier succession dispute between the family’s previous generation.
