Justin Theroux, known for his role in “The Leftovers,” has been entangled in a legal battle with his neighbor in New York City for several years. Norman Resnicow, a retired real estate attorney, had been accused by Theroux of various infractions such as trespassing on their shared rooftop terrace, spying on him, and harassing him. However, the situation has taken an unexpected turn with Resnicow’s recent passing at the age of 76.
In a letter submitted to the court by Resnicow’s lawyer, it was disclosed that all pending lawsuits involving Resnicow have been put on hold until his wife, Barbara Resnicow, is appointed as the executor of his estate. This bureaucratic process is essential for the litigation to continue moving forward.
Resnicow’s troubles didn’t end with his legal battles against Theroux; he also faced bankruptcy proceedings after being instructed to vacate the building he shared with the actor and to cover substantial legal fees. Despite his passing, negotiations for settling outstanding cases with an insurance company were still ongoing.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the legal disputes between Theroux and Resnicow, now that Resnicow’s wife is poised to take over his estate. Regardless of the outcome, Theroux’s lawyer expressed condolences to Resnicow’s family and refrained from discussing the actor’s plans regarding the litigation. The saga between the neighbors may have hit a pause, but the story is far from over.
