Dogs Inherit $7M Miami Beach Mansion
Woman Leaves $25M To Housekeepers, Bodyguards
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- A man is filing a lawsuit after his late mother left $25 million to staff members and bequeathed $3 million and her Miami Beach mansion to her three dogs.
Gail Posner passed away in March at age 67.
In her will, she provided her Chihuahua, Conchita, and two other dogs the right to live in her $7 million home and a $3 million trust fund.
Staff members received a collective $25 million to care for the pooch -- keeping Conchita in custom Cartier collars, doggie spa days and fancy cars.
Posner's only son, Bret Carr, who inherited only $1 million, has filed suit in Miami-Dade County court claiming the staff members scammed his mother into changing her will.

The housekeeper at the mansion was not available for comment Thursday.
