"In the months before his arrest on sex-trafficking charges, Jeffrey Epstein indicated he had decided to finally settle down. A handwritten note on a financial document, which the longtime bachelor signed two days before his suicide in jail - which was included in the Justice Department's Epstein files made public Friday - says that Epstein had given then-girlfriend Karyna Shuliak a 32.73-carat diamond ring "in contemplation of marriage.""
"Upon his death, Epstein also planned to give his fiancée $100 million and his homes, including his Manhattan mansion, Paris apartment, New Mexico ranch, and two private islands in the US Virgin Islands. The details are described in a document known as The 1953 Trust, in which the well-connected financier and convicted sex offender laid out who would receive his assets - at the time valued at $630 million - following his death."
"He signed the document on August 8, 2019, while he was jailed in Manhattan on federal sex trafficking charges, and it was finalized later in August. While its existence was referenced in his publicly available will and in litigation over his estate in the US Virgin Islands, the contents had remained secret in the years following his death. The 1953 Trust superseded another financial planning document, called the Jeffrey E. Epstein 2019 Trust, which was dated to January of that year."
Jeffrey Epstein indicated plans to settle down and had given Karyna Shuliak a 32.73-carat diamond ring described as being in contemplation of marriage. Upon his death, he planned to give his fiancée $100 million and multiple properties, including his Manhattan mansion, Paris apartment, New Mexico ranch, and two US Virgin Islands. The 1953 Trust laid out distribution of assets valued at $630 million and was signed on August 8, 2019 while Epstein was jailed on federal sex trafficking charges. The 1953 Trust superseded a January 2019 trust. Redacted versions of both trusts were released through the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Names listed include close associates and ex-girlfriend Eva Andersson Dubin and her eldest daughter; nothing in the documents suggests wrongdoing by the listed names. The 1953 Trust had not gone into effect and was designed as a pour-over trust.
