Libby Holman Reynolds Fortune Left in Limbo
Testimony from A B Walker and a nurse at the hospital where Smith Reynolds died raises questions about Libby Holman Reynolds awaiting motherhood and her control over the Reynolds fortune. The estate, valued at 15 to 20 million dollars, is tied to a will that delays Smith Reynolds’s inheritance until age 28. The Safe Deposit and Trust Company of Baltimore trustees reportedly announced the daughter of Reynolds and his first wife would inherit, but unofficial legal word suggests a child born to Libby could alter the outcome.
