Jeffrey Epstein signed his will two days before his suicide

Marquez said he believes the assets listed simply were in Epstein’s name, and the will on Aug. 8 was a way to title them under the trust in order to control where the assets would go in the event of Epstein’s death. Without the will, Marquez noted, the assets would have gone to Epstein’s brother. “Therefore, he needed to do something so they went where he wanted them to go,” Marquez said.
