Having seen this in my family, I suspect they looted the man before he died.

For example, the apartment in the Dominican Republic could have been signed over to the daughter before he died via a quitclaim deed, I don’t know about property rights being transferred in the Dominican Republic, but that happened in my case.

Then you put everything else in a trust, name one person as 100% beneficiary of the trust when the person dies and effectively at that point, everything Charles Rangel had is now in the hands of someone else.

And...wonder how much $$$ is in offshore accounts?

"... The late representative’s property is to be placed in the Charles Bernard Rangel Revocable Trust, the assets of which were not disclosed in a will signed March 31, just nine weeks before his death at Harlem Hospital..."

Anything in a Trust bypasses probate of a will, and is not listed as assets of the estate.
