Virginia Giuffre于2025年4月自杀身亡,留下估值达3000万美元的遗产,其中包括和解赔款、投资房产和书籍版税[1]。然而,由于她未能签署有效遗嘱,这笔遗产的归属问题引发了一场复杂的法律争议。Giuffre原计划于2025年4月26日签署正式遗嘱,但在此前一天去世[1]。早在2025年2月,她曾向会计师邮件发送了一份"非正式遗嘱"的内容[1]。
围绕遗产分配,Giuffre的两个儿子与其美国家人之间存在重大分歧。儿子们主张母亲在起草非正式遗嘱时缺乏行为能力,而美国家人则声称Giuffre明确表达了遗产应主要用于子女信托的意愿,以防止前夫Robbie挥霍[1]。根据Giuffre的日记记录,她曾写道"I don't want Robbie blowing my children's money on himself"[1]。若儿子们的诉讼胜诉,Robbie将继承离婚后遗产的三分之一多,成为主要受益人[1]。
此外,遗产管理还面临其他障碍。Giuffre曾在珠宝商店花费约10万澳元购买珠宝,但这些珠宝目前去向不明[1]。遗产中还包含加密货币投资,其去向同样不确定[1]。
Virginia Giuffre, a deceased victim in the Jeffrey Epstein case, left behind an estate valued at approximately $30 million, but the lack of a properly executed will has triggered a significant legal dispute [1]. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025, just one day before she was scheduled to sign a formal will on April 26 [1]. Her estate comprises settlement payouts, investment properties, and book royalties [1].
The central conflict involves her two sons challenging the validity of an informal will, arguing that their mother lacked testamentary capacity when drafting it [1]. In contrast, her American relatives assert that Giuffre clearly expressed her wishes for the estate to be placed primarily in trusts for her children, specifically to prevent her ex-husband Robbie from squandering the funds [1]. This position is supported by entries in Giuffre's diary stating "I don't want Robbie blowing my children's money on himself," as well as an email she sent to her accountant in February 2025 containing the informal will's contents [1].
The stakes are substantial: if her sons succeed in their legal challenge, Robbie would inherit more than one-third of the post-divorce estate and become the principal beneficiary [1]. Additional complications surround approximately 100,000 Australian dollars worth of jewelry that Giuffre purchased but whose current whereabouts remain unknown [1]. The case is proceeding in Perth, Western Australia [1].
