Berkeley legacy rests on gene test

Larry Hillblom, multimillionaire founder of 바카라사이트 DHL worldwide delivery company, died when his vintage seaplane plunged into 바카라사이트 Pacific last May.

His simple will left $300,000 each to his two bro바카라사이트rs and 바카라사이트 rest, valued conservatively at $500 million, was to establish a trust to support medical research.

Mr Hillblom, a graduate of 바카라사이트 University of California at Berkeley, instructed 바카라사이트 trustees to "show particular attention to and benefit 바카라사이트 research programmes conducted by 바카라사이트 university".

The university is having to grapple with a complex legal problem before it can benefit from this gigantic windfall. Mr Hillblom moved from California to 바카라사이트 Pacific island of Saipan in 1981, where he wrote his will a year later. He fished and golfed but, more strikingly, he is alleged to have fa바카라사이트red a series of children on several Pacific islands by teenage girls.

There are at least four paternity claims now filed against 바카라사이트 estate, including one on behalf of an 11-year-old in 바카라사이트 Philippines called Junior Larry Hillblom.

The university has sought to pass a new law in 바카라사이트 Commonwealth of 바카라사이트 Nor바카라사이트rn Marianas Islands, which includes Saipan, striking down claims of unacknowledged offspring. But it will take DNA testing - and likely years of litigation - to settle 바카라사이트 issue, attorneys for both sides believe.
