“”My only regret is that the children cannot accept the will of their father,” Dallas said. “He left household and personal effects to his children. He left a trust fund to educate his grandchildren. And then everything else on the face of the earth that he owned he left to the needy and underprivileged children of Georgia and South Carolina for educational purposes. And he named his three friends (Brown’s trustees) to carry out that purpose.””
If this is an accurate description of the will, it would explain why the family moved to remove the trustees.
If Brown simply didn’t include his wife and she was already married, presumably his attorney’s knew what they were doing.
That said, the article is very short on details of the will.
I agree. I hope a probate court judge makes quick work of this and divvies things up the way Brown wanted. It sounds like Brown left what he wanted to his children and grandchildren, that should be the end of it. There is no need for a pack of lawyers getting wealthy over this, I am pretty sure that would be the last thing Brown would have wanted.
