CASES OF NOTE
In re The Estate of Georgia O’Keeffe
The Jones Firm represented the niece of the famous artist in contesting Georgia O’Keeffe’s will on various grounds. The case was filed in Santa Fe and The Jones Firm was successful in getting approximately $60–$70 million of the artist’s artwork, the bulk of her estate, transferred to non-profit museums and foundations rather than an individual as provided in the will.
