Summary
- Shuliak is now being described as a potential major beneficiary of Epstein’s remaining wealth.
- Recent court records reportedly show that Shuliak was included among the important beneficiaries of the trust.
- US Department of Justice records reportedly indicate that Shuliak was the last person Epstein spoke to outside prison before his death.
Attention has shifted to Karyna Shuliak, the longtime girlfriend of convicted sex offender and disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The development comes years after Epstein died in a federal prison in 2019. His death brought an end to his criminal case but left behind a complicated estate and several legal disputes.
Shuliak is now being described as a potential major beneficiary of Epstein’s remaining wealth.
According to court documents, Epstein signed a new will just two days before his death. The document created a private trust known as the 1953 Trust.
Recent court records reportedly show that Shuliak was included among the important beneficiaries of the trust. However, the exact amount she could receive remains uncertain.
US Department of Justice records reportedly indicate that Shuliak was the last person Epstein spoke to outside prison before his death. Reports also say that Epstein made some of his final telephone calls to her while he was in custody.
At the time of his death, Epstein’s estate was estimated to be worth around $600 million.
A significant portion of that wealth has since been used to compensate people who accused Epstein of sexual abuse. More than $170 million was reportedly paid to over 200 victims through compensation arrangements.
The estate has also faced several legal claims and settlements with government authorities. These matters have complicated the distribution of Epstein’s remaining assets.
After a recent tax refund, the value of the estate’s remaining assets is estimated at between $120 million and $150 million.
Despite being named as a potential beneficiary, Shuliak has not yet secured the inheritance. Payments connected to the trust remain suspended while legal proceedings continue.
Richard Kahn, the executor of Epstein’s estate, has reportedly raised concerns about the wording of the trust agreement. He described the document as unclear and poorly prepared.
The uncertainty has made it difficult to determine exactly how Epstein intended his remaining fortune to be divided.
Legal experts say Shuliak’s potential inheritance cannot be confirmed until outstanding claims and court proceedings are resolved.
