Heirs of influential Portland real estate developer Tom Moyer are in a bitter feud over his granddaughter Vanessa Sturgeon’s handling of the business empire.

In documents filed Monday in Multnomah County Probate Office, 14 of the 19 Moyer family members claim: 

  • Millions of dollars of family assets have been wrongfully diverted.
  • Loans were improperly closed on the signature of Tom Moyer at a time he suffered from advanced dementia.
  • That the Moyer dissidents earlier this year ousted Sturgeon as manager of the family’s 1000 Broadway Building and forced the return of $14 million in diverted 1000 Broadway proceeds.

Sturgeon, 33, said her family members’ claims are false. “The allegations in the documents are inaccurate,” she said, declining to elaborate.
