Hotel magnate Leona Helmsley provided in a trust fund for her companion dog to be cared for as it would be in her lifetime.

Now a N.Y Judge Reenee Ross has taken it upon herself to reduced the amount from $12 million to $2 million.

Whether it was rightful or not to decree such a large amount, the principle was still the final testament and decree of  Ms. Helmsley.

A trust fund is normally considered concrete and secure than the making of a common will and Ms. Helmsley is no longer here to contest nor argue her final wishes.

It was her money and her wishes and I fail to see how a trust fund can be contested.

The remaining $10 million after the usual scum bag attorney fees, was directed to her other charities of which much, without doubt, be pocketed by the usual unscrupulous light fingered managers.

What is the point of making arrangements and paying attorney fees for your final wishes when after sometime down the road a Judge can overturn your final will and testament.

Whoever, however and whatever the person was in life, their final wishes should be respected,  in my opinion.

I think it's a disgrace - Does anyone have an answer.

I'm with you on that thought. I too beleive that a persons last requests be honored. As you stated it's all a money game for the attorneys. I just comfort myself with the thought that there is a special place in HELL for them along with child molesters, insurance people,pharmiceutical company owners and our beloved lawyers.

Well, whereas I can't condone leaving that much money for the care of a dog...I have to agree with you that her wishes should have been carried out.

Whether I, or anyone else, agrees with it...it was her decision and her money.

I believe that our final wishes should be honored no matter how ridiculous they may seem to others - and it was a trust fund for Petes sake. I think its a travesty.

I wonder who cares for the dog? I wonder if they're allowed to spend some of that money at Starbucks or something while they're out walking him? Or maybe a new pair of shoes? tehe!!

ps: Thanks for stopping by my blog. I guess you've seen the movie "The World According To Monsanto" too, huh?

Better to be opinionated than not to have an opinion. Those who agree to disagree will live in harmony.
