Do you know any of these people?

John Corson falsely stated under oath that his father “asked him to leave”. Court testimony and evidence show that John and his brother Joseph both left Leol suddenly and unexpectedly in Oct of 2016, and left Leol without food, the means to pay his bills, or travel to doctor appointments. Later, John tried to avoid testifying by providing a "doctor's note" in an attempt to excuse him from attending (which failed).  

Leol Corson lied about meeting with his long-time attorney, Jim Gallagher of Gallagher, Villeneuve and DeGeer in Damariscotta Maine. Mr. Gallagher stated in his affidavit that he “provided no counsel” to his client of 40 years, even though court records showed he met with Leol multiple times including in the presence of two family members and discussed the purchase of his home to the Becks in order to safeguard Leol from further harm.   

Jayson Corson and his wife Kerstin stated they moved down to Bristol because no one else could care for Leol. Court records and evidence demonstrate they ASKED to live there, did so without paying any rent, and their motivation for moving back to Bristol was largely to be closer to their child Katie Corson and Grandson Jayson Benner.   

Leol Corson, Jayson Corson and his wife Kerstin accused their niece Jill of forcing her grandfather Leol Corson out of his own home. Ironically, Jill was the only family helping Leol by providing a contract with her obligation to pay the mortgage while Leol could live for free in the home for his lifetime. Jim Gallagher of Gallagher, Villeneuve and DeGeer drafted, signed, and acknowledged this “Living Arrangement Agreement”.   

Jayson Corson and his wife Kerstin seem to have coerced their father into leaving his home, instead buying a home and a vehicle for THEM to use, and voiding his right to a free place to stay. Instead Leol, Jayson, and Kerstin moved into a 1970’s single wide trailer at Pemaquid Coop together. By choice.   

Later Leol, Jayson Corson, and his wife Kerstin accused Leol’s granddaughter of unjustly purchasing Leol’s home for less than market value. Yet testimony showed the price paid matched it’s current value, that the purchase itself was fully disclosed and transparent to all involved family members.  

John Corson tried desperately to avoid having to testify about his own actions, or those of his family - especially his father. In fact, when court ordered to appear for a deposition, John flatly refused to show up and in exchange tried to offer up a doctor's note as an excuse from testifying as to the truth of what happened.  

Settlement negotiations failed because Leol had no desire to regain ownership of his own home, did not accept a 60% share proceeds if we sold the home, and refused our offer of releasing all personal property.   

Kerstin Corson stated under oath that she was controlling Leol’s spending. When pressed further, after resisting a response from cross examination, responded she “Doesn’t want to be accused of stealing his money.”  

Katie Corson blocked the delivery of subpoenas upon herself and her father by refusing service using an impromptu “No Trespassing” sign in her driveway. A cowardly Jayson Corson was trying to hide in the garage behind his own grandson, to prevent having to go to court and be caught in his lies.   

Leol’s newly found free attorney, Denis Culley, accused Leol’s granddaughter and husband that they somehow tricked Leol Corson. Court records however illustrate the transaction was done out of care and concern for Leol, but also could have been financially advantageous to him had he decided to stay.  

Mr. Culley has presented many webinar’s listing “Shadow Clients” as someone who exacts revenge against other family members through the elderly individual. It was increasingly clear as we prepared for trial that Jayson Corson and Kerstin Corson were behind the claim as a way to “punish” the Beck’s for asking Jayson and Kerstin to leave. Mr. Culley DID NOTHING despite his knowledge of shadow clients. 

Since the trial, both Jayson and Kerstin have abandoned their father Leol Corson and have since moved out, leaving him in the care of the same sons - John Corson and Joseph Corson who very people who created Leol's plight in 2016!  2020 UPDATE: It now appears that John Corson has taken his father Leol to a nursing home, after deceiving Leol that he was being taken to a doctor's appointment!
