Jeffrey Epstein’s estate was administered after his death by co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. Epstein had signed a will on August 8, 2019 just two days before his death placing assets valued at approximately million into a trust.
Victims’ Compensation Program: In 2020, the estate established the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program, administered by Jordana Feldman. The program paid approximately ** million** to over 150 claimants.
USVI Settlement: In November 2022, the estate settled the U.S. Virgin Islands lawsuit for million, which required additional victim compensation and the sale of Little Saint James Island.
Property Disposition: Key properties were sold or disposed of through the estate process:
- The Manhattan townhouse (71st Street) was listed for sale
- Little Saint James Island was sold pursuant to the USVI settlement
- Other properties were subject to the estate administration process
Bank Cases: JPMorgan settled with victims for million in 2023 and Deutsche Bank settled for million. These did not come from the estate directly but from the banks.
Executor Scrutiny: Indyke and Kahn, who had managed Epstein’s affairs for years, faced questions about their actions in establishing the trust just before his death.
