Are a donor's wishes sacred? Foundation fights bequest's terms to raise money

Article Abstract:

A legal fracas over the indenture governing Albert C. Barnes's art legacy could dissuade other would-be trust founders from establishing similar foundations. Barnes left one of the world's great art collections with specific instructions that it never travel and that it be used for an art school following the principles of John Dewey. The trustees want to show the art around the world, saying they need the money to repair the building. Their opponents say the trustees treat the museum as a cash cow.

When fate knocks, rich ring for Zabel: the wealthy can't avoid death or taxes, but they can afford Bill Zabel's soothing touch

Article Abstract:

William D. Zabel has built up a thriving New York City practice based on his ability to form relationships with the rich and famous and his own deep ethical and social convoctions. A specialist in estate and taxation law and related family law, he focused on these areas as a true profit center rather than a spin-off, billing by the hour instead of charging a percent of the estate to administer it. Much of his energy goes to charities.
