A summary in Wednesday’s Philanthropy Today incorrectly described some details of a New York Times article about Leona Helmsley’s instructions for the charitable foundation that will benefit from her estate’s assets. The Times reported on a mission statement drafted by Ms. Helmsley, not on the will itself, which is public. In addition, the newspaper reported simply that a spokesman wouldn’t comment while the estate’s executors were determining the direction of her charitable trust; the article said the trustees of the charitable trust had hired a philanthropic advisory service to determine if there was a way to stick to Ms. Helmsley’s desires and also pursue broader goals.
