Crying Anna Nicole Judge 86'd from Will

Posted Apr 21st 2009 7:44PM by TMZ Staff

Larry SeidlinJudge Larry Seidlin finally has something to cry about -- he's just been axed from the will of a very rich old woman.

The judge who became famous for deciding where Anna Nicole Smith should be buried was named a beneficiary in the will of Barbara Kasler, a neighbor in his Florida condo complex. But Seidlin's place in the will angered Kasler's niece, Corine Kasler, who accused Seidlin and his wife of abusing the old lady -- a charge the Seidlin's vehemently deny.

Now, Corine has somehow convinced her auntie to strike Seidlin from the will.

Judge Larry and his wife are hurt, claiming the old lady was like family -- their daughter considered her a grandma.

As for the money ... Seidlin says they didn't even know they were included in the will ... until recently.

2. You guys need to learn how to use apostrophes. They don't make things plural.

4. It serves him right. He tried to parlay his job as a judge into a television show. He made a mockery of the judicial system.

5. WHAT A LOSER

6. This judge was assigned my mother's estate and he was a whack job. I walked out of his chambers thinking "what the hell is going on with our judicial system?" He caused me great heartache and I truly cannot believe that he wasn't fired a long time ago. Believe me, I'm not the only one complaining. There are others! He did not cry in our meeting, but he did attempt to entertain us, and I was not happy about it. I was there expecting professionalism from a judge, but left with nothing but distain towards him. I'm sure he'd be a barrel of laughs at a barbeque, but his chambers and his courtroom were not for entertainment purposes. He should have been told his a long time ago!

7. This judge was assigned my mother's estate (pre Anna Nicole) and he was a whack job. I walked out of his chambers thinking "what the hell is going on with our judicial system?" His incompetency ended up causing me great heartache and I truly cannot believe that he wasn't fired a long time ago. Believe me, I'm not the only one complaining. There are others! He did not cry in our meeting, but he did attempt to entertain us, and I was not happy about it. I was there expecting professionalism from a judge, but left with nothing but distain towards him. I'm sure he'd be a barrel of laughs at a barbeque, but his chambers and his courtroom were not for entertainment purposes. My other choice for a judge happened to be Lawrence Korda, who later was found smoking weed in a local park and either resigned or was fired! What a damn disgrace!

9. #6: He comes across like a total doofus on Larry King Live (of course, Larry does too). Sorry to hear you were stuck with him.

#2: They haven't gotten to that part yet in their third-grade classes.

And BREAKING NEWS? Really? Now I can sleep well.

10. As an administrator in the home health care field, many times I have had to run interference for an elderly client with senile dementia who tries to leave their money to someone who has already been abusive. Some times they are badgered to put the abusive person in the will and they do because they are afraid.. I've had to call adult protective services more for feduciary abuse than for physical abuse. This judge should know better. If he values his job, he should publically denounce accepting anything from this woman.

12. probate judges in florida are not very smart. My dear Aunt passed away a couple of years ago and she had told me i was to recieve all her assets and special instructions...... i did not ask who the lawyer was or for a copy ..since she was only 65 and seemed in great health.... she passed away while i was out of the country and my broke/alcoholic father who knew he was not in the will flew to her house and was there 3 days unsupervised.... everyone arrived at the funeral home and his first words where " i cant find the will" .......... a will from 1984 was found in safety deposit box along with pictures and documents from that year............... and my father was 3rd in line for beneficiary................. my aunts daughter had passed away in 1986 and her husband in 2000. my father ignored my pleads that there was another will, i opened the probate with lawyer and told court there was a missing will and if i could get copies of her checks that she wrote, i would find missing lawyer/will. fathers lawyer was the typical lyer...... and the so called independent lawyer told the court he had 3 names of lawyers from his search................in court i told the judge i had 12 lawyers names in the carbon copies of some of the checking accounts i found in my aunts home..... so the search was not done correctly............... judge ignored my pleads and appointed my father executor and legal beneficiary........... i still have 5 years left to save up enough money to get another lawyer to request the bank records...... my father has not spoken to me for 3 years and refused to acknowledge every one else in the family that say "everything was going to your son"
imagine that............my own father................ to anyone that does not know me.... one might think i am some type of monster son....................when in fact all i have done is always helped my father................ giving him my car to use, paying his motel nights when he could not..............offering him to stay in my 2 bedroom apt..............wich he refused since it was 17 miles away from the bars he would go and get drunk at.................... and bailing him out of jail when arrested for DUI. so i am not surprice at these judges.....

i requested to have the case moved to another judge and the judge refused................ i requested records again......and fathers lawyer blocked it by saying the records where already searched.........sure the lawyer would not get paid if we found the missing will that placed the assets under my control...........

nice lawyers.................. what a beautifull justice system we have in this country................. thanks florida bar association.............your the best/

13. #10 your comment shows your ignorance and stupidity.

14. Thanks #8. Also, I meant "disdain", not "distain". I'm just glad Seidlin retired and can't hurt anyone else like he did my family and me. I don't think we'll ever recover from his incompetency. I've learned alot about incompetent judges and incompetent lawyers in the past several years, and I pray I never ever have to deal with either again!

15. Ok, this judge guy is definitely smoking something stronger than a Marlboro... He acts as if he REALLY is clinically insane.
Regarding the Will and Estate vs. the judge being a beneficiary and then removed from said Will. Judge Seidlin himself said that he didn't even know about the Will until recently. Well easy come easy go! It was never really his to begin with, and now he has NO rights to the Will/Estate. I suggest to Lara, um, I mean Larry [Seidlin]. Go back to your lame life, and stock up on Puffs!
