Leona Helmsley's Will

Helmsley Left Dogs Billions in Her Will

The article is about who should get the money. Mrs. Helmsley left her dog all the money and left her family out. She left her dog all the money to be taken care of and have the security that the dog needs.

I wouldn't think that you could have dog or any other animal in a will. I would think that it should be left to a human being. The family should have been left with something and then maybe a % be left to an animal organization. I don't feel that any animal needs to have security. I thought that some people had dogs to protect them. I feel that it's a waste of money to have the dog groomed like that. I understand that dogs should have a bath and be groomed, but you have to draw a line somewhere. She ordered certain things to be done, but that was not in the will. I feel that she had lost her mind. This case should have been thrown out and divide the money equally among the family.
