That is, the frozen embryos of the billionaire’s mistress would have the right to survival and birth, but not inheritance. In this case, only Erin’s eldest daughter with Wasserstein, Sky, would be entitled to the inheritance. Rose, who was born after the businessman died, did not.
“Erin McCarthy gave birth about seven years after Bruce Wasserstein’s death,” said the defense for the dead billionaire’s family, referring to Rose. “Under the terms of the trust papers and estates of Mr. Wasserstein, any such child would not benefit.”
