Here's Who Inherited Liberace's Money After He Died

On March 20, 1987, Liberace's three nephews and his niece appeared in a Las Vegas court to protest being left out of their uncle's will. Despite Ina saying she and her brothers were "very close to Uncle Lee" (via UPI), this doesn't seem to have been the case. Via the Los Angeles Times, George Rudiak, the representative lawyer for the Liberace estate, stated, "I understand they embarrassed him at his mother's funeral in 1980. I think he wrote them off at that time."

Additionally, per the above UPI article, attorney Richard Oshin, a specialist in probate and estate planning who was hired in January 1987 specifically to work on Liberace's final will, shut down claims that Liberace perhaps wasn't in the right headspace when signing the will. "Prior to the final will there was a 1982 will and several codicils, all of the previous documents left out the children," he stated. Ultimately, the case was dismissed, with the judge having no sympathy for Liberace's niece and nephews at all.
