Secret trusts, mysterious children and disputed millions: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate sparks new legal battles between victims, alleged heirs and missing funds. A 100 million bequest to his Belarusian girlfriend also appears.
A cumbersome legacy: as conspicuous as it is cursed and uncertain. What, how much and to whom he left Jeffrey Epstein? Estimates are conflicting: between 600 million and one billion dollarsmore 500 real estate properties.
However, much of the assets would have been eroded by taxes, compensation and penalties.

The hereditary axis is “armored” in a trust administered by Epstein’s former personal lawyer, Darren Indykeand his former accountant, Richard Kahn.
The causes of the victims and the class action
Who are doing three actions. The first is to defend the assets from compensation suits brought by victims of abuse; one is standing class action proposed by Boies Schiller Flexner; the second is to verify the number of heirs; the third is to hunt for other funds.
For example, nothing more is known about an account at Deutsche Bank – for decades in business with the pedo-financier – of which there are traces until 2019, the year of Epstein’s more or less spontaneous suicide. To defend the assets from compensation suits, the two professionals have proposed an agreement which now must be approved by a federal judge New York.
Payment is expected 25 million dollars if fewer than 40 women join the collective cause and 35 million if there are more. The person who pays is the trust which will sooner or later have to implement the will.
Ghost girlfriend, children and heirs
At first it was said that Jeffrey’s brother was the universal heir, Mark Lawrence Epsteinthen a legacy popped up from 100 million for the Belarusian pedo-financer’s latest girlfriend Karyna Shulyak to which the “1953 Trust”established by Epstein shortly before his suicide, leaves properties (villas a New York, Florida, Paris), jewels and money.
Another “hidden” heir is a biological son who should have been born in 2011. He testifies to this in an email Sarah Fergusonwho compliments Epstein on his fatherhood. Another victim claims to have given birth to a baby girl in 2002, when she was 16, who was stolen from her by Ghislaine Maxwell.
Over one hundred are the alleged paternity of Epstein, who however does not name any children in his will, claimed after his suicide.
The names in the documents
They would instead be named in the will Mona Juulambassador of Norway in Jordan and Iraq, a position from which she resigned as soon as the Epstein filesand her husband, the former diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen. They are under investigation for corruption because Epstein gives them a legacy of 5 million dollars.
