Surrogate Judge Lambert: There is gambling in Rick’s Place

Although she does not want to prejudge Mr. Cappellini and Mr. Arenson, Surrogate Lambert said, she has long been concerned about the “Tremendous delay in distribution of money to heirs or depositing it and in the closing of estates.” When she became Manhattan’s supervising surrogate two years ago, Judge Lamberrt said, she “pressured them very hard to get their cases up to date.” – NY Times Nov 28 1987
