METRO EXCLUSIVE # Jeffrey Epstein signed will just two days before suicide By Priscilla DeGregory and Kate Sheehy August 19, 2019 3:40pm Updated NY Post Photo Composite https://nypost.com/2019/08/19/jeffrey-epstein-signed-will-two-days-before-suicide/?mod=mktw 1/8 EFTA00060783 11/15/22, 4:20 PM Jeffrey Epstein signed will just two days before suicide Video of Bill Clinton getting interrogated over Epstein ties goes viral Prince Andrew wept when King Charles told him he'd never return to royal life: report Jeffrey Epstein signed his will just two days before he hanged himself in his Manhattan jail cell — leaving behind a nearly $600 million fortune, according to court papers exclusively obtained by The Post on Monday. The court document, filed in the US Virgin Islands, where the convicted sex molester owned two isles — including one that locals dubbed “Pedophile Island” — was filed Aug. 8. The 66-year-old former hedge-fund manager was worth $577,672,654, or about $18 million more than he previously stated in court papers while futilely trying to land bail on federal sextrafficking charges, the new documents show. He put all of his holdings in a trust, called The 1953 Trust, after the year he was born. “It’s done that way for privacy reasons,” a city estate lawyer told The Post. “It’s pretty boilerplate. It’s what we call a ‘pour-over will,’ which means everything pours over to a trust. “What is more unusual is the date, the fact that all of this was done just days before he died,” said the source, who asked to remain anonymous. "He could have thought, 'I need to get my ducks in a row.' " The 21-page filing includes a copy of Epstein's death certificate from Aug. 11, the day after his suicide — and lists "Immediate Cause: Pending Further Study." The city Medical Examiner’s Office has since ruled that Epstein killed himself Aug. 10. Manhattan federal prosecutors Monday asked the judge overseeing his criminal case to officially toss it in light of his death. https://nypost.com/2019/08/19/jeffrey-epstein-signed-will-two-days-before-suicide/?mod=mktw 2/8 EFTA00060784 11/15/22, 4:20 PM Jeffrey Epstein signed will just two days before suicide victims” and repeated previous statements from US Attorney Geoffrey Berman that his office isn’t done looking into the alleged sex-trafficking ring that serviced Epstein and his buddies. Epstein's will was filed with court officials in St. Thomas. One of the two Brooklyn lawyers listed as witnessing its signing is Mariel A. Colon Miro — an attorney for drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. Miro was once accused of flouting court rules by passing a phone to Chapo’s wife so the spouse could communicate with her imprisoned husband. Miro has denied the claim. ## SEE ALSO Jeffrey Epstein was sent 12-year-old French girls as 'birthday gift' The Post's legal expert said Epstein’ s lawyers likely filed his will in the Virgin Islands to try to keep it “more private, because that is not where people would look.” In New York, “There is always a risk that it would be leaked.” There are no details on the trust's beneficiaries. The court papers note that Epstein's only potential heir was his brother, Mark Epstein. But the will adds that Mark only had a claim to his brother's extensive holdings if Jeffrey hadn't left behind the document. Jeffrey Epstein had been sued by a multitude of sex accusers before his death, and the lawsuits are still piling on. The new legal documents note, “Petitioners are investigating potential debts and claims of the Estate and at this time they are unknown.” Epstein’s list of holdings in the new documents mainly mirrors what his lawyers previously filed when seeking bail for him, although they include two additions. https://nypost.com/2019/08/19/jeffrey-epstein-signed-will-two-days-before-suicide/?mod=mktw 3/8 EFTA00060785 11/15/22, 4:20 PM Jeffrey Epstein signed will just two days before suicide # NEWYORKPOST LOG IN Aunt of California teen found dead sa...

A third man, Boris Nikolic, is listed as an alternate. The executors will receive $250,000 apiece for their work on the estate, in addition to “reasonable” expenses related to the job, the papers say. The men were unable to be reached by phone Monday. Miro did not return a request for comment. Millions of books, audiobooks, magazines, documents, sheet music, and more for free. ## LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ## JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN I, JEFFREY E.
