Mrs. Helmsley set aside $12 million to a trust for the care of her beloved 8-year-old white Maltese, Trouble. (The dog itself was left to her brother, Alvin Rosenthal.)
Mrs. Helmsley left trusts of $10 million to benefit her brother and trusts $5 million each to benefit her grandsons David and Walter Panzirer. She also left $5 million to each of them outright, and $100,000 to her chauffeur, Nicholas Celea.
To receive money from the trusts, the grandsons are required under the will to visit the grave each year of their father, Jay Panzirer, Mrs. Helmsley’s only child, who died on March 31, 1982. “If DAVID or WALTER fails to visit the grave during any calendar year, her or his interest in the separate trust established for her or his benefit shall be terminated at the end of such calendar year,” with the principal treated as though the grandson “had then died,” the will states.
Mrs. Helmsley specifically excluded two grandchildren, however. The will states, “I have not made any provisions in this Will for my grandson CRAIG PANZIRER or my granddaughter MEEGAN PANZIRER for reasons which are known to them.”
