Leonard Cohen‘s manager has been exonerated of claims of financial wrongdoing following a 10-day trial in probate court.

Cohen, the Canadian songwriter and poet, died in 2016 at the age of 82. His children, Adam and Lorca, later accused Cohen’s manager, Robert Kory, of misconduct in his role as trustee of the Cohen estate.

In a ruling on March 23, a court-appointed referee found that Kory had fully and competently carried out Cohen’s wishes in his management of the estate.
