Suzane von Richthofen Seeks Control of Late Uncle’s R$5 Million Estate in Court Fight With Cousin

Overview

• Miguel Abdala Netto was buried on Tuesday in Pirassununga after first-degree cousin and former partner Silvia Magnani secured release of the body.
• The estate, estimated at about R$5 million, is now contested in court between Suzane and Silvia, with Suzane petitioning for custody of the corpse to position herself as estate administrator.
• São Paulo Civil Police continue to treat the case as a suspicious death and await forensic reports, while an IML source pointed to a likely heart attack based on swelling and no signs of violence.
• Access to Miguel’s home in Campo Belo remains restricted because a neighbor holding the keys says he will hand them over only with a judicial order.
• Under Brazilian succession rules, nephews rank ahead of cousins in the absence of closer heirs, so Suzane and her unlocated brother Andreas would inherit if there is no will.
