Here’s something a little more lighthearted and amusing to kick off your Father’s Day weekend. Whoever heard of leaving multimillion dollar Miami Beach homes to your pets as an inheritance? That’s exactly what one woman did and the lawsuits are already gearing up by family members to try and snag a piece of this inheritance.
To be more specific, a woman named Gail Posner gave $3 million dollars and her Miami Beach mansion to her three dogs, a decision her son is none too happy about . Perhaps even more surprisingly, a whopping $25 million was also given to her staff members to be used to care for her Chihuahua and keep her decked out in the finest designer dog gear and refreshed with regular spa outings. As for the residence itself, it definitely falls under the category of luxury Miami Beach homes as it’s currently worth $7 million.
Ms. Posner in Miami Beach is certainly unusual but this isn’t the first time someone has left their wealth to their pets. Perhaps most famously, late billionaire real estate investor Leona Helmsley initially left a staggering $12 million dollar trust fund to her Maltese named Trouble before the sum was reduced to $2 million. Perhaps dogs really are man’s best friend.
