The judge also signed a deal to pay the late billionaire’s two disinherited grandchildren $6 million. The grandchildren alleged that, at the time of the will signing, Leona Helmsley wasn’t mentally competent.
They also argued that Trouble, being a dog, won’t need all that money. And there is no way for a dog to will anything so that money would just be in limbo after the dogs death.
I hope these lawyers got paid well. Nothing like using American taxpayer’s money to faciliate a trial to take money willed to a dog. What the heck is this country coming to. It amazes me the uselessness of most trials these days. I bet if you listen really hard, you can hear Leona Helmsley laughing in her grave!! This has gotten me thinking that when I die, I am going to will my money to the broken piece of sidewalk in my front yard. Why not? I’ll let my kids fight it out!!
