Austin Probate Lawyer

Trouble, the beloved pet of infamous real estate tycoon Leona Helmsley, will lose the majority of his enormous $12 million inheritance, according to a settlement between the executor of Helmsley’s will and two of the late mogul’s disinherited grandchildren.

Craig Panzirer and Meegan Panzierer Wesolko argued successfully that their grandmother was not of sound mind when she disinherited them in the last version of her will. In addition to awarding $4 million and $2 million to Panzirer and Wesolko, respectively, the terms of the settlement also strip $10 million from Trouble’s inheritance, to be put into a charitable foundation.
