The story spends no time explaining on what legal basis the trust was overturned. Leona was more of a bitch then the dog was but it was her money to dispose of as she saw fit.

Leaving $12 million to a dog and $0 to family just might provide grounds for her heirs to claim she was not of sound mind. Much as I like dogs, I would concur.

As nutty as it sounds that's what the will expressed. Wealth and wisdom don't always go hand in hand. Generally there has to have been something really squirrelly going on for a judge to overturn the will.

We are not getting the whole story here. The dog trust was for 12 million. The new distribution is 2 million for the pooch and 10 million for charity. Also, 6 million is going to each kid. That is 24 million. There may be a lot more in her estate.
