Virginia Giuffre: Legal battle set to commence in WA Supreme Court over Jeffrey Epstein victim’s estate

A legal battle is gearing up in the WA Supreme Court over the multi-million dollar estate of Virginia Giuffre — the most vocal victim of notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Ms Giuffre, 41, took her own life in April at her farm near Neergabby, 20 km of Perth, without leaving a will.

She had amassed a fortune in victim’s compensation claims and civil lawsuit settlements over her allegations that as a teenager, she was sex trafficked by New York financier Epstein to his wealthy friends, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Now, her two brothers, Sky Roberts and Danny Wilson are challenging her estranged husband, Robert Giuffre over his right to her funds, The Telegraph reports.

The matter is set down for a case management hearing in the Supreme Court on Friday.

Ms Giuffre’s estate includes a rumoured $22 million settlement paid to her by Andrew.

That out of court settlement accepted no liability and the former Prince has always strongly rejected her claims of wrongdoing.

Ms Giuffre also received $770,000 from Epstein in 2009 when she settled her sex abuse and sex trafficking lawsuit against him. In 2017, she received another undisclosed payment from Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell — who is serving a sentence in the US for sex trafficking.

Ms Giuffre had four properties, including a six-bedroom seafront home in Ocean Reef and the farm near Neergabby.

Her estranged husband — who separated from her months before her suicide — could be eligible for up to a third of the estate.

However, it is understood Ms Giuffre emailed her lawyers before her death, instructing that she did not want him to have any of her money.

In June, Ms Giuffre’s sons, Christian, 19, and Noah, 18, who live with their father, successfully applied to the court to be appointed administrators of her estate.

Her brothers, Mr Roberts and Mr Wilson, have been heavily involved in promoting her posthumous memoirs, Nobody’s Girl, which was published last month.

Other family members have been critical of their tearful interviews with the media, The Telegraph reports.

It is understood Mr Wilson and Roberts hope to run Ms Guiffre’s charity, Speak out, Act, Reclaim - for which millions of dollars have been set aside.

However, according to The Telegraph, her paternal aunt Kimberley Roberts believed all the money from her estate should go to her children.

Last month King Charles officially stripped his disgraced brother Andrew of his His Royal Highness style and his prince title, and removed his dukedom from the Roll of the Peerage over Andrew’s “serious lapses” of judgment.

The move followed the publication of posthumous memoirs by Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, and the US government’s release of documents from Epstein’s estate.
