The children and heirs of late Jewish musician Leonard Cohen recently filed a lawsuit against the singer-songwriter\u2019s former manager, accusing him of replaced a section of Cohen\u2019s trust in order to name himself as its primary trustee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Robert Kory allegedly forged a portion of the trust that initially named the Hallelujah singer\u2019s two children, Lorca and Adam Cohen, and his ex-girlfriend, fellow musician Anjani Thomas, as successor co-trustees, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by TheWrap. The motion added that Kory allegedly inserted a \u201cphony\u201d section in the trust that says he is the sole first successor trustee while Lorca and Adam were demoted to second successor trustees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no valid instrument by Leonard designating Kory to serve in that capacity. Since Leonard\u2019s death in 2016, Kory has been holding himself out as trustee and exercising control over the Trust and its assets solely on the basis of forgery and fraud,\u201d the lawsuit stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cohen\u2019s heirs are asking the court to confirm that Kory is not a trustee and has no right to act in that role. They want to remove Kory as a trustee, have him turn over the trust to Cohen\u2019s heirs and compensate them for the money he earned while acting as trustee, including the cut he got from selling Cohen\u2019s entire song catalogue for $58 million. The new lawsuit states that Cohen was \u201cdying and heavily medicated\u201d when he signed an agreement in July 2016 granting Kory a 15 percent commission on such a sale.<\/span><\/p>\n

The motion also claims Kory backdated a document that enabled him as trustee to profit from an exhibition and book of Cohen\u2019s work at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and that Kory paid himself, his son and others thousands of dollars to store and maintain Cohen\u2019s archive, Variety reported. The lawsuit additionally accuses Kory of engaging in business deals on behalf of Cohen\u2019s trust without consent from the singer\u2019s children; refusing to provide Adam and Lorca with information regarding those business ventures; and refusing to distribute to the heirs assets from the trust that are worth tens of millions of dollars \u201cin order to continue to wrongfully enrich himself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A trial is scheduled for March 29 in Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cohen\u2019s children also filed a lawsuit against Kory in 2022 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.<\/span><\/p>\n
