(8/20/03, 5 p.m. ET) -- The estate of the late Bee Gee Maurice Gibb is currently being administered in Miami, Florida, with $2 million and six homes going to his wife of 29 years, Yvonne. Gibb--who died on January 12 after emergency surgery for a blocked intestine--also bequeathed to his wife the ownership of all his copyrights and musical compositions.
His will, which was drawn up in 1991, also establishes trust funds for his 27-year-old son Adam and his 22-year-old daughter Samantha, who both live in Miami Beach, Florida.
The Gibb family homes include two each in Miami Beach and England, and one each in Spain and the Bahamas. The Miami Herald reports that Yvonne Gibb has placed most of them up for sale.
Gibb's brothers and musical partners, Barry and Robin, have threatened to sue Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, claiming that--according to Barry Gibb--the doctors there "completely screwed things up." They have not begun any legal proceedings yet, however.
