Huguette Clark’s doctor hit back against the late copper heiress’ relatives, painting them as greedy hypocrites for vilifying the elderly physician in a lawsuit to claw back $1.6 million after the family members won $34.5 million in a last-will dispute.
“The petition is the latest efforts by the so-called Clark family members to further enhance their financial well-being,” Dr. Henry Singman scoffs in court papers filed in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court.
Singman says he “is an octogenarian who fulfilled his duty to render the very best medical care possible to his patient” only to find himself “painted as a money-grubbing villain” by 19 distant relatives, some of who never even met the famously reclusive Clark.
The $1.6 million at issue includes about $800,000 in insurance, and $867,000 in cash gifts the heiress showered on his family before she died at age 104 in 2011.
