Less than 48 hours after his death, Fotis Dulos’ legal team is racing his mother-in-law for control of his what’s left of his assets, according to a new report.

Dulos’ attorney Norm Pattis said he is in the process of preparing court papers to set up an estate for the accused wife-killer — in an effort to prevent his missing wife’s mom from doing so first.

Dulos, 52, was charged with murder in the May disappearance of his wife, Jennifer Farber Dulos, 50. He died Friday after poisoning himself with carbon monoxide.

Jennifer’s mom, Gloria Farber, has custody of the couple’s five kids.

“We obviously are taking actions ourselves to open an estate on behalf of Mr. Dulos and we don’t think that Mrs. Farber should have any involvement,” Pattis told the Hartford Courant on Friday. “This is Mr. Dulos’ estate to be administered not Mrs. Farber’s.”

A lawyer for Farber said he has the same intention — noting he doesn’t anticipate much from the estate, because Dulos was drowning in debt.

“I will ask there be a temporary administrator appointed,” Farber’s lawyer, Richard Weinstein, told the Courant. “I don’t expect they’ll be a positive money flow from his estate. He was selling furniture from the house on eBay so he had no funds.”

What’s left would go to the couple’s kids, Weinstein said.

Pattis insisted Saturday that “no one is trying to deprive the kids of anything.”

“We are simply doing what is customary upon the death of a person with complex affairs needing winding up,” he told The Post.

Pattis on Friday filed paperwork in a Connecticut court in an attempt to block a caretaker from taking over Dulos’ Connecticut mansion, because Dulos’ Greek relatives plan to stay there while they “put his final affairs in order and prepare to honor his memory,” the Courant reported.

“They are … a family in mourning, and their safe haven to mourn is Mr. Dulos’ home at 4 Jefferson Crossing, Farmington, Connecticut,” he said.

Pattis’ request contests one made by Weinstein on Thursday in the home’s foreclosure case.

“[Farber] is greatly concerned about maintaining the property in its present condition, preventing waste, vandalism, looters and preserving the mechanicals within the house,” Weinstein reportedly wrote.

Pattis said the attempt to control Dulos’ remaining assets “seems necessary” because of “the predatory nature of the litigation against Mr. Dulos,” he said, referring to a civil suit Farber was waging against Dulos at the time of his death. She claimed he owed her $2.5 million.

In a suicide note, Dulos proclaimed his innocence, and that of his two co-defendants.

A spokeswoman for Farber, Carrie Luft, said the family is “surrounding the children with support and love” in the wake of Dulos’ suicide.

“Losing both parents is unfathomable.”
