Helmsley Left Dogs Billions in Her Will

Statements were made questioning the will that the late Leona Helmsley(widow of Harry Helmsley- real estate empire and owner of Helmsley's Hotels) had left her dog, Trouble $12 million dollars upon her death at 87. This raised some questions. Was her best interests and wishes for the care and welfare of the dogs incorporated in the documents? or adjusted in her expressing her wishes could mean the binding was not legal?
Witnesses stated "Leona set goals in writing in 2003", that would go into action after she died. Many people saw Leona as arrogant and not trustworthy during her conviction in 1989 of federal income tax invasion.
The 5 exectutives and trustees of her will are dealing with disposing of her real estate and making sure, "Trouble", the maltese was being protected after threats to kill the dog were made.
The trustees would then hire an advisor to assist them with keeping Leona's intentions and seeking charitable goals that would go to her foundation. One solution came from a judge who cut "Troubles" fund to $2 million and the rest would go to the charitable trust that was pending. The judge left 2 grandkids $6 million who were left out of the will.
The last step will be for the trustees to spend the money for different groups that help with animals or to help with research on canine diseases.

My opinion: Unless you are a true animal lover, you probably would not agree with her wishes.I, myself love all animals and find my animals to be very loyal, loving and dedicated to our family, more than friends sometimes are. So, why not leave the money to help with animals and the welfare of animals.This is what Leona wanted.
