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. In the absence of clarity in the court’s ruling, I expect the executors of the estate will appeal this ruling of a judge playing Robin Hood and Santa Claus.
We are ruled by our judges. They decide what they want to decide.
Really? Did you know her? Because people who actually did speak rather highly of her.
People whose reality is defined by sensationalist headlines and soundbytes, on the other, seem to judge her rather harshly.
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.
You nailed it. It WAS her money. I see how much the grand kids loved their grand mother or her money
I’m wondering if there is a statute of limitations on continuing to be a b!tch after you’re gone? ;)
According to the N.Y. Post article, the trust was overturned by agreement between all the parties to avoid further litigation amid allegations that Leona was not mentally competent to make her final will. Not a very nice legacy.
