The Hollywood Reporter has an in-depth feature on the fight between Brad and Michelle Lund over their inheritance. They are the twin children of Sharon Disney Lund, Walt’s daughter. Due to allegations of Brad not having “maturity and financial ability to manage and utilize such funds in a prudent and responsible manner”, he has been denied the prescribed allocations from his trust. Complicating matters is Brad’s close relationship with his father, who had to resign as a trustee following allegations of fraud. The concern is that Brad’s father would take advantage of Brad’s disabilities for financial gain.
The story is complex and features elements of fraud, drug abuse, and allegations of “Stockholm Syndrome”.
Sharon’s other daughter from a previous marriage died at the age of 36 after a history of drug abuse and reckless behavior, including trashing a suite on the Disney Cruise Line.
