Overview
- Lawyer Ian Torrington Blatchford was named provisional administrator by the Supreme Court of Western Australia to manage Virginia Giuffre’s assets and affairs.
- The court order authorizes him to act as her legal representative in all matters she had pending, enabling the New York defamation suit by Rina Oh to proceed.
- Giuffre died in April near Perth without a valid will, and objections from her lawyer Karrie Louden and housekeeper Cheryl Myers prevented her sons from taking control.
- Estate assets at issue include remaining proceeds from her 2022 settlement with Prince Andrew, with reporting also citing multiple properties and earlier payments tied to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- Speculation about the circumstances of her death continues, while Western Australia Police say there is no suspicion of foul play.
