Heiress Leaves $8.3M Estate to her Dogs

Leona Helmsley wasn’t the only one who wanted to make sure her dogs were well taken care of after she was gone. The Wall Street Journal says when Gail Posner died in March she left her $8.3 million Miami estate to Conchita, a tiny chihuahua, and two other dogs. A $3 million trust was also set up for the dogs. Almost $26 million in assets was left to various members of the heiress’ staff, a fact that has promted Posner’s only son to file suit. He claims her staff drugged and coerced her to include them in the will, saying they went as far as hiring a publicist to promote Conchita as the “world’s most spoiled dog” as a ruse to justify its hefty inheritance.
