In the dispute over the multi-million dollar estate of former sock hop legend Milt Grant, Broward Circuit Judge Mark Speiser permitted counsel for Grant’s son to question his 90-year-old stepmother in person.

The son, Thomas Grant, has been fighting the corporate trustee administering the estate and has claimed the trustee, Bessemer Trust Company, has shown bias in favor of his stepmother. The separate trusts of Thomas Grant and Shirley Grant, now empty, are to be fully funded in the next few months through the sale of Grant Communications Inc., a Fort Lauderdale-based company that owns seven television stations in four Florida markets. It was valued at $32 million when he died and has appreciated since then.
