Epstein Victim's Estate in Legal Limbo
26 Nov
Summary
- Interim administrator appointed for Virginia Giuffre's estate.
- Lawsuits, including one from Rina Oh, can now resume.
- Giuffre died without a valid will in Western Australia.
An interim administrator has been appointed to manage the estate of Virginia Giuffre, who died in Western Australia without a valid will. This crucial appointment allows numerous lawsuits, previously stalled, to proceed. Giuffre, who was involved in high-profile legal battles, passed away at 41.
The WA Supreme Court has named lawyer Ian Torrington Blatchford as interim administrator, a move that will facilitate legal proceedings spanning from Perth to New York. The estate is believed to include a significant portion of a reported £12 million settlement Giuffre received from Prince Andrew after alleging sexual abuse.
The lack of a will had halted a defamation case filed by Rina Oh, another alleged Epstein victim, who is suing Giuffre's estate for US$10 million. With the administrator in place, Oh's legal team can now formally serve the estate and resume their proceedings.
