Now, her children are fighting over who should inherit her money, pointing to conflicting wills that Ms. Williams left, including one she signed shortly before her death.
It is the latest legal dispute spawned by Sue, a crown jewel of paleontology regarded as the most complete T. rex fossil ever found.
Before her death in 2020, Ms. Williams had written two wills.
In a 2017 will, she appointed one of her daughters, Sandra Williams Luther, as the personal representative of her estate.
In another will, written in 2020, she designated that same daughter to be her sole heir and the sole executor of her estate.
