When Champlin developer Duane Engels died in 2005, he had every reason to rest in peace. His hard work developing houses and apartment buildings left a substantial fortune that was sure to keep his widow, Beverly, comfortable until her dying day.
But according to a recent lawsuit filed by her court-appointed conservator, the couple’s three children allegedly stripped $24 million from her estate as she slipped deeper into dementia, leaving the 79-year-old resident of a Rogers memory-care facility destitute unless something is done to recoup the funds.
The lawsuit, filed in Hennepin County District Court by a professional conservatorship firm called Fiduciary Foundation, lists her three children as defendants: Troy D. Engels of Monticello, Todd M.
