MIAMI: It is anything but a dog's life for Conchita, a beloved Chihuahua whose eccentric owner bequeathed her a three-million-dollar trust fund -- a move now being contested by the late heiress' only son, local media reported.
Heiress Gail Posner left her pooch (which she often decked out in a diamond necklace) a trust fund, and another 27 million dollars to the staff of her Miami beach mansion so that they can get by (rent-free) while caring for her pets until they die.
In contrast, Posner tossed a bone to her estranged son Bret Carr: a one million dollar inheritance.
A Miami court will now decide whether his late mother was manipulated into giving away her cash, as he contends, or if she spent it the way she wanted.
"She never would have done that unless she was under extreme influence," Carr was quoted as telling The Miami Herald.
Her staff "exacerbated her paranoia and tendency to be in a delusional world," he told the daily. |  |
