Manhattan millionaire Maurice Laboz, who made his fortune from property, sadly passed away this year, leaving part of his fortune to his two daughters.
Marlena, 21, and Victoria, 17, are set to inherit $10M per person when they turn 35, but the terms are a bit more complicated.
Ensuring his daughter’s become model citizens, the 77-year-old stated they must first get good jobs, marry right, not have kids out of wedlock, and look after their mum. Bless!
The rules are as follows:
-
Marlena receives $750,000 if she graduates from an accredited university and writes '100 words describing what she intends to do with the funds'
-
She will then get $500,000 if she marries- but her husband must sign a sworn statement meaning he has no access to the cash
-
Both daughters will receive an annual payout of three times their salary income by 2020
-
If the daughters decide to be full time mothers, they will receive 3% of the value of their trust every January- if the child is born in wedlock
-
The sisters could also earn that amount by being carers to their 58-year-old mother Ewa, who Maurice was in the middle of divorcing but received nothing in the will
“It’s a way to control things from the grave,’’ state lawyer Jeffrey Barr who is not involved in the case explained. “You don’t see a lot of it, but it happens. People do it because . . . they think it’s for the good of the children.’’
Maurice Laboz signed the will in April 2014, nine months before he passed away.
He left behind a $37 million fortune, a large chunk of which he has left to various charities.
