The lawsuit, which was filed at Julie's and Taylor's insistence, was necessary, says their attorney, Bob Landon, because until the sisters can agree on how Bebe's money is to be spent, it stays tied up in probate. Landon says Tricia is using this dispute "as a back door to try once again to get family control of the library." The suit tried - and failed - to oust...
