JeffreyEpsteinplanned to distribute his considerable wealth among an array of friends, family, employees and associates upon his death, according to the files the Justice Department released Friday.
The late sex offender'strustagreement, which has not been made public before, details how more than a quarter billion dollars, plus his sundry properties across the globe, would be doled out to at least 44 beneficiaries when he died.
Epsteinexecuted and signed the will on Aug. 8, 2019 - two days before he would be found dead by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell.
The document was later signed by his longtime lawyer Darren Indyke, eight days after his death on Aug. 18, 2019. His accountant, Richard Kahn, signed it the next day.

Although about $288 million, as well as a collection of international properties, were to be parceled out - what remains ofEpstein's estate is far from enough to fulfill that plan. According to the estate's latest publicly available accounting, filed in the U.S. Virgin Island probate courts, there was $127 million left. That total remains tied up in the USVI courts.
To his last known girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak,Epsteinbequeathed $50 million, according to the agreement. He also planned to give her his sprawling Zorro ranch in New Mexico; his infamous property on Little Saint James as well as his property on Great Saint James. He also gave her his apartment in one of Paris' most exclusive areas near the Arc de Triomphe, as well as his Palm Beach property and his notorious townhouse on Manhattan's posh Upper East Side.
Shuliak would also get a heap ofEpstein's diamonds - including a meticulously described near-33 carat diamond ring, which in blue handwritten notes in the margins,Epsteinsaid he had given her "in contemplation of marriage," the agreement says. It was "set with a rectangular-cut diamond, weighing approximately 32.73 carats, flanked by baguette-cut diamonds mounted in platinum." She would also get "all of my loose diamonds,"Epsteinintended -- itemizing 48 of them.
To his longtime lawyer Indyke and his accountant Kahn - who were also the coexecutors ofEpstein's will - he planned to give $50 million and $25 million, respectively, documents show.
Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell -- who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking -- was to receive $10 million. His brother, MarkEpstein, was also to receive $10 million, as was his longtime pilot, Larry Visoski, the documents show.
Some of the other beneficiary names are redacted but referred to as "she's" and allotted several million dollars each. Several million dollars would also be distributed to various employees, respectively, according to the agreement.
