Bret Carr Wages Legal Battle Over Mother, Gail Posner's, Estate in which Millions Left to Pets & Hired Help

Miami socialite Gail Posner left millions to pets and hired help sparking legal battle by son, Bret Carr over the estate.

It is a dirty shame that Gail Posner could leave her dogs and hired help millions, while there are starving children right here in America. Ms. Posner's son, Bret Carr, is waging a legal battle over his mother's estate. He claims she was manipulated into changing her will in 2008, thereby leaving millions to the dogs and her hired help. I have to lift my hat off to Bill Gates because he chose to give millions to fight AIDS and to help the less fortunate around the world. Here's an excerpt from the Miami Herald:

Miami Beach's newest socialite, Conchita, lives in an $8.3 million Sunset Island mansion, owns a Cartier diamond necklace and has a $3 million trust fund to support a lifestyle of designer duds, massages and pedicures. What makes Conchita different from other Miami Beach socialites: She's a Chihuahua. Conchita came into her wealth upon the March death of her owner socialite Gail Posner, the daughter of late corporate raider Victor Posner.

Whether Conchita keeps her millions will be decided in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, where Gail Posner's only living child, son Bret Carr, launched a legal battle this month over his mother's estate. Carr claims his mother was manipulated into changing her will in 2008, leaving millions to her dogs and hired help.....

Gail Posner's will and trust gives her three dogs -- Conchita, April Maria and Lucia -- the right to live in the two-story Sunset Island mansion until they die. She also left $27 million to her maids, bodyguards and personal trainer, plus the right for some of them to live rent free in the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion in exchange for taking care of the dogs. Bret Posner got only $1 million. The remainder of the estate goes to charities.

This isn't the first time an ultra-rich person has left millions to a pet. Leona Helmsley, who was incarcerated on tax related issues and mostly remembered for her comment "only the little people pay taxes," left a $12 million trust fund to her dog. It just shows how little regard many of these people have for humanity. How can anyone in good conscience leave millions to a pet, rather than stretching a hand out to help the less fortunate?
