Kita v. Matuszak

Plaintiffs include certain Polish nationals, heirs-at-law of Lucya Remszel, represented by Consul General Adolf Kita, and the co-administrator of a deceased brother’s estate. Defendant, Michael Matuszak, Lucya’s brother, was the sole beneficiary of her estate, according to Lucya’s alleged will.
