Last Will
The will of His Serene Highness the late Albert Honore Charles Grimaldi, Sovereign Prince of Monaco, Albert I, was filed for probate in the Surrogate's Court, Manhattan. The value of the Prince's estate in the United States is put at $300,000. The document placed before the court contains the original will, the value of which was not disclosed. All that is known is that he made bequests, totaling hundreds of thousands of francs, to his advisers, secretaries, servants, and left the residuary estate to the Institute of Oceanography at Monaco and the Institute of Paleontology at Paris--two institutions in which the late Prince was particularly interested.
