Mr Shaw Thought To Have Left Only £150,000
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, November 3. An official from the office of the Public Trustee, who is the sole executor of Mr George Bernard Shaw’s will, said last evening that the will was 8000 words long and very detailed. It was made in 1950. Probate can be expected this month. A friend of Mr Shaw said he may have left only £150,000, in spite of earnings of £1,000.000 and a life interest in most of his wife’s £150,000 estate. Death duties cut his wife’s estate, and taxation and generosity cut his own.
