Duke Tobacco Heirs Funds Being Manipulated by Scheming Mother

March 22, 2013 by Morris Hall, PLLC Leave a Comment

Twins Georgia and Walker Inman are the great-grandchildren of Nanaline and James “Buck” Duke, the founder of American Tobacco, and have each been left trust funds estimated at $14 million.  Recently, their mother Daisha Inman has been making grabs at her children’s funds.  In fact, she has tried to get access to the money in order to purchase a $29 million ranch in Utah.  Prior to that, the mother had requested the funds to purchase a $4.3 million home in South Carolina.

Daisha recently uprooted her 15-year old children from their home and school and holed them up in a Park City hotel, costing $120,000 a month.  This happened despite the fact that the mother had formerly promised the trustee, JP Morgan, that she would locate a suitable and reasonable rental property for her and her children.  The mother’s request to purchase the ranch, even at a discounted price of $15 million, was turned down by the trustee.

Daisha is back on the road with her children again according to reports which state that the St. Regis hotel, where they’d been staying at, reported that she had recently checked out.  There is no word of where the mother and her children have gone yet or where they are heading.

Because the twins are minors, the trustee is set up to protect their funds that are held for them until they are of age, or until the dictates of the trust stipulate.  The trustee is responsible for using the funds to pay for the needs of the beneficiaries until they fully inherit.  These costs would include funds for school, extra-curricular activities, lessons, travel and other costs.

Because a trust was set up, the estate has been protected against an unscrupulous mother who has even still taken steps to try and drain the funds away from her own children.  Many of us have individuals in our family that are not trustworthy with their finances.  We see many situations where individuals get a large windfall and are broke in a matter of months or a year.  Creating a trust provides protections against these problems and many others.
