THE LATE ILLUSTRATOR, HER ASHES AND HER ESTATE: DIVISION BETWEEN THE TUDOR CHILDREN

After two years since Tasha Tudor died at the age of 92, her ashes were finally set to scatter on the grounds--different grounds that is.

the ashes of the famed illustrator, who had given us great delight through her water colored artistry in books like "Little Women", "The Secret Garden", and her very own "the Corgiville affair", was finally scattered by her four children after a long dispute over where she should be buried and the division of her properties.

It was a war of the Tudors: since her death Tasha Tudor’s children has quarreled over her remains and her $2 Million estate. Last Oct 17 her sons Seth and Thomas, and daughters Bethany and Efner, buried her ashes at her beloved rosebush, on Seth's neighboring property, and where her precious Pembroke Welsh corgi dogs are buried.

the order to divide the ashes of Tasha Tudor was ordered by the judge after the children couldn't agree where and how to settle it--just like the late illustrator's properties.

Until now the fight continues as her children quarrels over who should rightfully own the estate; the proper divisions of her it due to one of the children's claims that there's a possibility that their brother Seth (who has been with their mother) might have been plotting the renaming of the tutelage in the will under his name.

It seems that the rest of the children are said to be estranged that caused most of her property to be under Seth's name, however Thomas says otherwise and that he had never been estranged with his mother.

At the moment the quarrel continues, and with the next court schedule for the deposition of Amelia Stauffer, a close friend of the author, there's hope that all this issue regarding the will, will definitely end.
