[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that before he died buffet told his financial advisor “I love her, take care of her, but she’s a dope - don’t let her ruin what I worked so hard to build!”

And she wasn’t willing to play along - she wanted it all now. Probably has a really nasty entourage of greedy types whispering in her ear that SHE was the one who really earned that money![/quote]

Even if that were true (though I have real doubts that it is), you don't get to just say that and then have something opposite in writing filed with the courts. If Jimmy felt that way, he would have protected his estate while he was alive. He was very business savvy. Also, she absolutely did help him build his empire. Are you under the impression that married people don't make decisions together?[/quote]

As i understand it this is the argument: the trustee is saying “jimmy didn’t want you in full control, he wanted me to be the brakes on your profligate ways” and she is saying “he wanted me to have it all to myself with no control, but for some reason, he said the opposite and he set it up in a way that you could make sure I didn’t spend irresponsibly… weird!”

Of course spouses contribute but, if when he was alive, the money was legally his and he set up his estate to make sure she had someone helping her not blow it all frivolously, then it’s not hers to do what she wants. [/quote]
