Baton Rouge Businessman's Will At Issue

The Business Report features an article outlining the dispute concerning the will of former Baton Rouge businessman Wilbur Marvin. Marvin, who made millions as a self-made real estate man, willed the vast majority of his company, Commercial Properties Development, Corp., to the Baton Rouge Foundation. His decision left only a tiny fraction of his wealth for his family and also avoided massive inheritance taxes, thereby preserving the company that he so lovingly built. The article provides an overview of Marvin's life and also outlines the legal issues involved in the dispute--primarily his domicile and capacity at the time of writing a new will prior to death.
