ESTATE PLANNING - PRINCESS DIANA

This video is about the defeated estate plan of Princess Diana, the most beloved English royalty in recent history.

Princess Diana was the most famous lady in the world.

She had it all; beauty, brains, charm and married into the English royal family.

She had two beautiful children and a long life ahead of her.

Princess Diana was stunningly wealthy and left a detailed will.

However, after she made her will, she decided she wanted a quarter of her personal possessions to be distributed among her seventeen godchildren.

When she died in a horrendous car crash in France, she was only 37 years old.

The executor of her estate did not follow her instructions as detailed in a letter she prepared herself.

Instead, the executor gave each godchild only a small trinket,

A family fight and law suit resulted and after an expensive and heart wrenching court procedure, the court ruled that the executor acted appropriately in ignoring Princess Diana’s letter.
