Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband and conservator Frederic Prinz von Anhalt looks into the possibility of arranging the funeral of Zsa Zsa’s only daughter, Francesca Hilton, who recently died of a stroke or heart attack, according to a report by the Mail Online on January 8.

As Gabor’s court-appointed conservator, von Anhalt wants to know if he has the legal standing to take care of Hilton’s funeral and estate. Things had been very rough between Hilton and her stepfather von Anhalt. In 2012, Hilton requested for an independent conservatorship over her ailing mother. The court agreed but appointed von Anhalt as the temporary conservator of Gabor’s fortune.

Hilton, who died at 67 at a restaurant in West Hollywood, is Gabor’s daughter to multimillionaire hotel tycoon Conrad Hilton. Her body remained unclaimed in a Los Angeles hospital morgue.

I solicited Peck Ritchey, LLC for assistance with a living trust for which I became the beneficiary. I needed assistance with understanding the details of how it all worked. However, I was especially concerned because there were threats of allegations made by family members and a lawsuit was filed against me. I needed a solid professional who had my best interests in mind. Peter Brady took my case and he managed it flawlessly. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he knew the law inside and out, he was always available to answer questions, and even offer support when things seemed like they could become extremely problematic. In addition to this, he had a plan. He navigated the course as if he already knew the next move by the opposing attorney. He made me feel like everything was in control and that’s because he knew exactly what he was doing and he consulted with me about everything. We ended up settling out of court and ultimately the court officially dismissed the lawsuit. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for Peter and his expertise this could have gone in an entirely different direction. Peter did a stellar job and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his performance.
