Inheritance Case Settled by Brothers in Luray
Three brothers reached an out of court settlement over a $120000 inheritance from Germany after a Page County Circuit Court ruling required Ernst Herzberg to share with Franz and Paul. The case involved a 1939 will and a secret agreement aimed at allowing Ernst to access funds from Nazi Germany. Ernst faced over $40000 in interest and a court-ordered payment to his brothers. The settlement ceded European valued properties to Paul and Franz and ends an appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court.
