Westchester Attorney Pleads Guilty To Mail Fraud For Attempting To Embezzle From A Decedent’s Estate

Westchester attorney Guy Parisi pleaded guilty this week to mail fraud. It seems like Parisi attempted to embezzle funds from an estate for which he also served as a court-appointed administrator.  

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: 

Guy Parisi flouted his fiduciary duty to the estate for which he was the administrator.  He attempted to direct fees from the estate to a company he himself formed with a relative.  

Federal prosecutors also allege:

Parisi was appointed an administrator of the estate of a former resident of Mount Vernon in or about April 2017.  His duties as administrator included collecting the assets of the estate.  As an administrator, PARISI had a fiduciary duty to the estate and to the decedent’s son, the sole beneficiary of his father’s will.  New York law provided for a fee for estate administrators like PARISI based on a percentage of the value of the estate’s assets.
