Celebrity Estates: Larry King's Holographic Will

A handwritten will and eight marriages are the stuff that estate fights are made of.

 

In this episode, David Lenok, senior editor at WealthManagement.com, speaks with returning guest Megan Gorman of Chequers Financial Management about the issues surrounding the celebrity estate of none other than legendary talk show host Larry King. 

There was an estate plan, multiple children from multiple marriages, a holographic will written after filing for divorce and then Larry’s untimely death due to COVID-19 in 2021. David and Megan could talk for days about this celebrity estate. Listen in while they try to sort through this currently active family-court fight.
