Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
NEW YORK, June 16 (UPI) -- A New York judge has dramatically reduced the $12 million trust fund the late Leona Helmsley left to her ill-tempered pooch, Trouble.
Surrogate Judge Renee Roth has signed off on a deal that gives $10 million to charity, leaving 9-year-old Trouble with a measly $2 million, The New York Post reported Monday.
The trustees of Trouble's trust fund said the pooch didn't need the amount of money provided by her late owner.
They received permission from Judge Roth to reduce the fund by giving $10 million to Helmsley's multibillion-dollar charitable foundation.
The deal approved by Roth also gives Helmsley's two disinherited grandchildren $6 million in exchange for withdrawing their objections to her will.
Siblings Craig Panzirer, 40, and Meegan Panzirer Wesolko, 37, charged their grandmother was not of sound mind or memory when she signed her last will.
