Two of Robert Maxwell's sons face bankruptcy proceedings just weeks after their sister was also made insolvent.
Businessmen Kevin and Ian, who are both in their 50s, have appeared in bankruptcy court lists for the second time in little over a year.
The two brothers are said to owe money to a company called DCF (UK) Ltd.

District Judge Janet Lambert adjourned the hearing until March 2 in order to give the Maxwell brothers time to pay the amount said to be owed.
Kevin, 56, who arrived at court wearing a reflective jacket over his suit and carrying a cycle helmet, told the judge he and his older brother, 59, were happy for the case to be adjourned.
It was not revealed how much money the men are said to owe.

ShareDCF (UK) Ltd is based in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, and offers 'financial intermediation', according to the Companies House website.
The same company had claimed it was owed money by the brothers at a bankruptcy court hearing about 14 months ago.
Neither Kevin nor Ian had appeared at a hearing in London in November 2014 - when a lawyer had told the judge a claim against them had been settled.
The Maxwell story is one of a series of family breakdowns, with myriad financial and personal troubles. Isabel (right) was declared bankrupt in an order at the High Court last November
Their father, Robert, plunged to his death in 1991, falling from his luxury yacht in the Canary Islands.
Since his demise - after which it was found the media mogul had plundered millions from the pension fund of his Mirror Group newspaper business - some members of his family have lurched between controversy and financial disaster, while others have retreated into seclusion.
The journalist Tom Bower, who wrote an unauthorised biography on the shamed newspaper baron described it as 'the tragic legacy of a crooked father. His children just inherited a dreadful pack of cards.'
Robert, who died aged 68, had nine children, two of whom died in childhood.
Kevin and Ian, who had both sat on the board of Maxwell Communications Corporation, were investigated after their father's death over an alleged conspiracy to defraud the company's pension fund.
Both were cleared in 1996.
Kevin, who followed in his father's footsteps in becoming chairman of Oxford United FC in 1991, had been made insolvent the following year after declaring debts of £400 million in what was Britain's biggest bankruptcy case.
In 2011, he was banned from running a company for eight years.

THE RISE AND FALL OF MAXWELL
Robert Maxwell was born in Czechoslovakia and rose from poverty to build an extensive publishing empire.
After spending six years as an MP during the 1960s, he bought Mirror Group Newspapers, among other publishing companies.
He led an extremely flamboyant lifestyle and was also often embroiled in controversy.
Maxwell was forced to sell some of his successful businesses in 1989 to cover his enormous debts.
But it was only after his death two years later - after apparently falling overboard from his yacht - that the full picture of his financial mess was uncovered.
With banks calling in huge loans, his publishing empire collapsed.
But things became much worse when it emerged Maxwell had stolen hundreds of millions of pounds from his own companies' pension funds to save the firms from bankruptcy.
Two of Maxwell’s sons most closely involved in the family firm, Kevin and Ian, stood trial accused of taking part in the fraud but were acquitted.
The brothers' latest difficulties comes just weeks after their older sister Isabel, a 65-year-old former dotcom millionaire, was declared bankrupt in an order at the High Court.
This was a significant fall from grace for a woman who in the 1990s was estimated to be jointly worth £100million with her twin sister Christine.
After emigrating to California, the siblings co-founded one of the earliest internet search engines, known as Magellan, later sold to rivals Excite in 1996.
On selling, the sisters were given 850,000 shares which three years later rocketed in value when Excite was bought by another internet service provider called AtHome, giving the sisters their £100 million windfall.
But the merged companies failed to perform as expected and in 2004 the Excite Network was acquired by Ask Jeeves.
Twice-divorced Ms Maxwell, educated at Oxford, went on to have further success, following in her fearsome father's footsteps as the head of the communications company.
However, more recently she has moved into the world of social entrepreneurship, as a member of the World Economic Forum and the director of a social entrepreneur programme in Israel.
Another sister, Ghislaine, 53, Maxwell's youngest child, is accused of recruiting under-age girls for convicted paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein - a friend she shared with Prince Andrew. She strongly denies the claims.
To escape the emerging scandal of her father's crimes, she escaped to New York.
The couple's oldest child, Philip, 67, won a scholarship to join Oxford University but later moved to Argentina to get 'as far away from my father as possible'.
Anne, 66, trained as a hypnotherapist after attending Oxford and now lives in North London, married to an osteopath.
Christine is married to an astrophysicist and living in France, where she wrote The Dictionary Of Perfect Spelling.
As hard as the seven children have tried, they have struggled to escape their father's dark legacy.
