Chapter 8 - The Restitution Deed
Arthur pulled out a clean, crisp document stamped with the official seal of the New York State Surrogate's Court.
"As the legal patriarch of the Whitaker estate, I have officially revoked Valerie’s status as executor of your father's will," Arthur announced pride in his eyes. "Effective immediately, full executorship has been transferred to you, Naomi."
Naomi looked down at the court order. "What does this mean, Grandpa?"
"It means every asset your father left behind—including the two-million-dollar portfolio and the five-hundred-acre lake house in Upstate New York—is now legally frozen under your sole control," Arthur explained. "Valerie and Kendra have thirty days to vacate the lake house property."
Naomi’s eyes widened. "They're living in Dad's lake house?"
"They converted it into their personal summer residence three years ago," Marcus chimed in, checking his phone screen. "Kendra even posted photos on social media calling it 'her private estate.'"
"Not anymore," Arthur said with a satisfied chuckle. "Starting today, that property belongs to you and little Nia."
