Confirms what was rumored.

Attorneys for family members of Tom Benson who were shut out of a proposed, altered succession plan for the Saints and Pelicans owner filed a civil petition Thursday afternoon seeking to have Benson declared mentally incapacitated and thus unable to make such a decision on his own.
The petition argues that the 87-year-old Benson should be examined by an independent, geriatric psychiatrist specializing in determining mental capacity and that medical records should be produced to help a judge make a decision on the matter

this is going to be a total shite show and has the potential to cause this franchise, city and state dearly.

This is going to be Blaine Kern 2.0 but with more money at stake.

Well it's not like he named Gumbo as his successor. Sour grapes.

Not surprised at all. No good can really come from this.

I really hope this doesn't drag out until the old man kicks it.

If there's no prior will, Gayle is the one who gets everything anyway and she can do as she pleases.
Obviously, she's not incompetent

even worse, it could be Ralph Wilson 2.0, except there's no one rich enough locally to buy the team, unlike in Buffalo.

John Georges is only person one I could think of and I don't think that would be enough.

An exhibit in the court filing shows Benson sent a signed letter on Dec. 27 to his relatives saying they had become “offensive” and did not “act in an appropriate manner,” creating a heartbreaking family situation he would not tolerate. He then demanded they cease all contact with him, and he banned them from entering Saints and Pelicans facilities or attending games. He also banned them from offices, car dealerships and television facilities he owns.
whoa

Not shocked this family would not go gently into that goodnight. Apparently "being taken care of" is not enough for them.
