Miami Millionaire Leaves $3 Mil. Inheritance to Chihuahua

MIAMI - The prized pup of Miami millionaire, Gail Posner, may be facing the end of her luxurious lifestyle. Talk about a pampered pooch,the dog has her own bedroom, bathroom, a diamond necklace, and even a $12,000 summer wardrobe.

Gail Posner died in March, leaving behind an estate worth tens of millions of dollars to Conchita, her Chihuahua and two other dogs, Posner intended the pooches get $3 million.

Probate expert, Frank Adams said, “Florida has a statute that specifically authorizes trust for the care of pets. It's one of a minority of states that has that.”

Brett Car, Posner's only living child is fuming because he got a measly $1 million.  Carr is fighting his lawyer on his mom’s staff.

“The people that were there to take care of her, instead of taking care of her, took advantage of her,” said Bruce Katzen, the plaintiff’s attorney.

Carr's lawyer says Posner was coerced while battling cancer, her maids, a personal trainer and body guards inherited $27 million.

Some of Posner’s former employees still live with those pampered pooches in the mansion.

Adams said, “The pet trust is really, I don't think his ultimate goal. I'm sure he has much bigger goals than that.”

Carr is suing the bank and others who manage the Chihuahua trust.  If his case goes to trial it would be a closely watched case because the law that allows pet trusts, has never been tested in court.
