Executor while in prison JLA....I found this article for you.... Marie Victim's family asks judge to end Greineder's estate role By Associated Press BOSTON - Dr. Dirk Greineder, who is serving life in prison for killing his wife, Mabel Greineder, still performs as executor to his wife's estate. But Mabel's sister yesterday asked a judge to remove Greineder as executor. Ilse Stark, through her lawyers, told Norfolk Probate Judge Robert Langlois she is outraged the Wellesley allergist may be profiting from killing his wife. ''It's an obscenity that someone who murders his wife can then manage her estate,'' attorney Andrew Lawlor said. ''Mrs. Stark wants to make sure that the defendant not benefit from his criminal act.'' Greineder, 60, has been entitled to administer his wife's estate even while serving life without parole for killing her due to a loophole in Massachusetts law. He can sell her property, invest the proceeds, and distribute the assets all from his cell at the maximum-security prison in Shirley. He an also take fees, which he sets himself. Langlois temporarily froze any remaining assets, and warned Greineder not to sell, transfer, or ''in any way'' dispose of property before a Nov. 6 hearing. Lawlor claims Greineder, has already looted the estate, which the doctor valued at $450,000. He sold off the biggest asset in her name, the family's Wellesley home, last month by turning over the $400,000 house to his youngest daughter's boyfriend, for $1. ''Since Dirk Greineder took his steps to convey away the estate's real estate during the months of September and October 2001, it is apparent that he is presently in the process of dissipating the assets of Mabel Greineder's estate,'' wrote Lawlor. Lawlor also said that ''a compelling inference can be drawn that he is manipulating his wife's estate for his benefit, and not for the benefit of Mabel C. Greineder's lawful beneficiaries.'' Lawlor said that Stark is not looking for anything in return. ''She has no interest in the estate. If she turns out to be a beneficiary, she will turn over any money to her sister's three children,'' Lawlor said. The children, Britt, Kirsten, and Colin, have staunchly defended their father and proclaimed his innocence. Greineder applied to the Norfolk Probate Court to be appointed executor of her estate two months after his wife's death. The application was approved on Feb. 7, 2000, three weeks before he was indicted on a charge of murder. After a six-week trial, he was found guilty of first-degree murder on June 29. His conviction is currently on appeal. Under the terms of her will, signed five months before her death, her husband inherited everything. But because he was convicted of her murder, he was disinherited by state law. Attorney Jeffrey Schlossberg, the lawyer who wrote Mabel Greineder's will and handled the sale of the house, did not return phone calls made by The Boston Globe yesterday.
