Famous Estates, Helmsley
Leona Helmsley's will can be found here. The most famous provision of her will is the $12 million for her dog in a pet trust. Although, New York apparently requires that money left to pets must be reasonable. Not sure how much even a pampered dog needs. Leona left money to two grandson's and required that they visit the grave of their father, her son once each year to obtain their inheritance. Her chaufer got $100,000. She also left $3 million to a trust to have her mausoleum cleaned yearly. Most of her estate went to a charitable trust she established.
