Allen’s sister Jody Allen is the executor of his estate and for several years has been selling pieces of it, ranging from Seattle’s Cinerama movie theater, the Everett, Wash.-based Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum, Vulcan Productions, Stratolaunch, the superyacht Octopus, and more." "proceeds from the sale of any items will go to charitable causes" Has anyone been verifying that this is true? I know trust law can be murky but from what I've heard the trustee is in it for herself (allegedly) and there are strict laws to follow when disgorging a trust. The least we can do is hold the trustee to the terms of the trust indenture, and the law. Does someone by chance have a copy of the trust indenture that I can look at? And/or a donation receipt (I'd like to read the terms)?
