Re:
Questions for your Meeting with Leon on 4.7.14
1.
Heritage Trust.
See attached Memorandum outlining possible changes to the Heritage and Legacy Trust
Agreement. What are Leon's thoughts on these issues and what is the status of the list of
art for each child's Legacy Trust?
I have not yet given Leon a copy of the attached memorandum but if you wish, I can send
it to him first thing Monday morning (what time is your meeting?).
2.
Ownership of Personal Residences.
How does Leon want to deal with the residence issue?
To refresh your recollection, all residences are owned jointlyby Leon and Debra except:
•
190 Narrows Road, Bedford, NY is in Debra's name (one of three Narrows Road
parcels—the other two are in joint name).
•
750 Meadow Lane, Southampton, NY is in Leon's name (one of three Meadow
Lane parcels—the other two are in joint name).
This means that if Debra survives Leon, at Leon's death, only 750 Meadow Lane will
pass to the Marital Trust under Leon's Revocable Trust. Debra will own all other
residences outright. As of August 15, 2013, we estimated the value of the residences at
$103 million.
The team discussed (i) Debra giving the children a right of first refusal if she wants to sell
a residences and (ii) putting the above referenced two parcels in joint name. I do not
know if these suggestions were made to Leon or how he feels about raising these issues
with Debra.
3.
Leon D. Black Family Foundation. Inc.
We think Leon should review the current governance structure of the Foundation to
determine if it still meets with his intentions.
EFTA00597276
The Board of Directors manages the affairs of the Foundation and the Executive
Committee has authority to act on behalf of the entire Board. So, it is the Executive
Committee that makes determinations on grant recipients.
The initial Foundation Directors and Executive Committee Members were Leon, Debra
and you. In 1997, John Hannan, Barry Cohen, Antony Ressler and Jonathan Levine were
elected as additional Directors (for a total of 7).
Elyse Kirchner at McDermott tells us that you resigned as Director and Member of the
Executive Committee in 2007, but she could not find a signed copy of the Resignation
Document. Please let us know if you have a copy or whether we should send you a new
document for execution.
4.
Legal Bills for Children's Will Preparation.
Should Paul Weiss send each of the children a bill for legal services to prepare the Will,
Revocable Trust, power of attorney, health care prosy and living will?
On Leon's last bill, Paul Weiss removed the time charges for Ben's Will. However,
there are time charges for Ben on Leon's current bill. Total legal time for Ben is about
16 hours with about 7.5 hours on the current bill. Since Paul Weiss does not share the
hourly rates of its attorneys, I cannot be sure of the dollar amount of the bill attributable
to Ben. It could be as much as $6,000 for the current charges with another $6,000 if Paul
Weiss does not write off the time from Leon's prior bill. To the extent that Leon pays for
Ben's legal work, it is a gift from Leon to Ben.
If Leon does not want the children to get a bill, I have a billing suggestions I could make
to Alan, which I believe he will find acceptable.
5.
Custodial Accounts.
Does Leon want us to transfer all custodial accounts into the child's name regardless of
amount? If not, will he approve our doing so with the below accounts?
Rich D. recently found the following accounts of which Leon is the Custodian.
•
UTMA Account for Josh with about $700 worth of units in a Columbia bond
fund.
•
UTMA Account for Josh with about $540 worth of shares in Microsoft.
•
UTMA Account for Ben with about $1200 worth of shares in Walt Disney
Company.
6.
Charitable Lead Annuity Trust.
Does Leon want to create a charitable lead annuity trust (described in the attached Paul
Weiss Memorandum to Leon dated November 15, 2013)?
