FORD DYNASTY HEIRS AT WAR OVER $350M!

- 

Henry Ford II ruled the ford motor Co. for more than 30 years

AN AILING brain-addled heiress is caught in the middle of a no-holds-barred legal battle over auto tycoon Henry Ford II’s $350 million family trust!

The daughters of wheelchair-bound Kathleen DuRoss Ford charge the 80-year-old has fallen under the spell of an abusive caretaker who’s drugged her and cut her off from family and friends in a bid to gain control of her fortune!

Deborah DuRoss Guibord and Kimberly DuRoss claim their mother — widow of the late Henry Ford II, grandson of the legendary carmaker — is being held captive in her $44 million mansion in Palm Beach, Fla.

They desperately want to wrest her court-appointed guardianship away from her live-in companion, 78-yearold Lonny Frank Chopin.

“He just treats her horribly. Disrespectfully. Condescending. Yelling. Physically abusive,” Deborah said in court records.

But legal eagles who represent Chopin claim the battle is simply a cash grab by Kathleen’s daughters, who want to get their hands on the millions she inherited from her late husband!

“It’s about money. It’s not about anything else,” attorney Greg Barnhart said in court records.
