$16.9M listing for Old Hollywood mansion is exposes bitter family feud

Key Points:

• A $16.9 million Holmby Hills mansion linked to the late real estate investor Paris Nourafchan is on the market amid a bitter legal dispute over the estate of his deceased brother, Richard Nourafchan.
• The ongoing California Superior Court case involves allegations of forgery, fraud, elder abuse, and family conflict, with Paris’s nephew Nicholas Rahban and Paris himself both claiming to hold valid wills and trusts from Richard shortly before his death in 2024.
• Rahban accuses Paris of elder abuse and forging Richard’s signature to gain control of the estate, while Paris contends Rahban manipulated documents and is an opportunist seeking the entire inheritance, with each side disputing the legitimacy of the other's claims.
• The mansion, known as Villa d’Este, is not officially part of the lawsuit but may be indirectly affected by the legal cloud hanging over the Nourafchan family assets; the estate is historically significant and was built in 1929, hosting many Hollywood legends over the decades.
• The legal battle continues with a court hearing scheduled for January, while Paris’s son actively seeks to sell the property, which has recently seen a price reduction and increased buyer interest despite the ongoing family feud.
