T
he Robins family, led by the late Jerry Robins, is embroiled in a bitter fight over his estate. Jerry's death in 2022 sparked a dispute among his children, with brothers Scott and Craig claiming their father's assets totaled $3 million, while sister Stacy alleges there are millions more hidden. Stacy sued her siblings in 2023, accusing them of deliberately excluding $6.1 million from the probate process.
Jerry's estate included businesses, properties, and investments, including a stake in media publishing companies founded by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine. According to court filings, Scott allegedly worked with their father while he was heavily medicated to transfer assets out of his ownership, some into a trust and others to their mother, Joan. Stacy claims this was done to conceal the true value of the estate.
The siblings' inheritance is divided: Stacy and Gina will each receive 35%, while Scott and Craig will get 15%. However, Stacy isn't finished fighting, alleging that her family members conspired to hide over $30 million in assets. An attorney for Joan and Stacy's siblings denies these claims, saying they are without merit.
