Selena's Brother Sues Sister Over Estate Profits
12 Sep
Summary
- A.B. Quintanilla alleges Suzette withheld profits for 10 years.
- He seeks over $1 million in monetary relief and financial documents.
- The lawsuit claims breach of contract and fiduciary duty.
A legal battle has erupted within the Quintanilla family, as A.B. Quintanilla filed a lawsuit against his sister, Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga. The petition, lodged in Nueces County Court on a Thursday in the spring of 2025, accuses Suzette of fraudulently concealing and withholding profits owed to A.B. over the past ten years.
A.B. claims that after their father delegated CEO responsibilities to Suzette in 2016, and especially after his passing in December 2025 when Suzette officially became president and CEO, she began shortchanging him on his entitled 25% share of profits. He asserts he only discovered the extent of the alleged withholding in the spring of 2025 due to Suzette's control over financial records.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of A.B. Quintanilla against Suzette and two family companies, seeks a decade's worth of financial documents, recoupment of more than $1 million in alleged unpaid profits, and compensation for legal costs. The complaint details claims of breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, with A.B. demanding a jury trial.
