Grandmother’s Will Conditions Inheritance on Felony-Free Descendants
Mary Mangione, a Baltimore-area millionaire philanthropist, left an estimated $30 million to her family when she died in 2023. However, her will comes with a condition: the descendants must not have been charged, indicted, convicted of, or pleaded guilty to a felony.
The will states that the trustees have the discretion to implement this section if the felony is a common law felony, a statutory felony, a heinous felony, or any felony involving a physically violent act against another person or property.
Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old grandson of Mary Mangione, has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Authorities arrested Luigi in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after he allegedly presented a fake ID and appeared to start shaking when asked if he had been in New York recently.
The investigation has revealed that Luigi had a handwritten manifesto condemning the health care industry, specifically mentioning UnitedHealthcare. His background has come under scrutiny, with some speculating that he had strong grievances with the health care industry and capitalism in general.
The case has sparked intense public speculation, with some commentators praising Luigi’s alleged decision to commit an act of violence to send a message to the health care insurance industry. However, others have criticized the suspect’s actions, with some noting that his wealthy family background may have contributed to his motivations.
In related news, UnitedHealthcare revealed that Luigi Mangione was not covered by the company. A professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where Luigi graduated, took to social media to voice praise for the suspect, but later retracted her comments.
The case is ongoing, with Luigi facing multiple charges in both New York and Pennsylvania.
