Family Says Neighbor Cremated Brooklyn Aunt Without Consent

Judy Bovell, from Barbados, says a Brooklyn neighbor of her elderly aunt took control of her estate and belongings after she died - without any consent.

A  family claims a neighbor took control of their elderly aunt's estate and belongings in Brooklyn after she died - without any consent. Gretel Taylor, 78, stopped reaching out to her niece, Judy Bovell, who lives in Barbados. The family got a call from Taylor’s neighbor saying she had fallen and was in the hospital. The family was grateful for the neighbor. But after a while, there was no word from her. Bovell called the police for a wellness check. That’s when the neighbor told them Taylor had died on Nov. 11 and that she had her cremated without asking the family. More on this from News 12 Brooklyn.
