Document EFTA00016865 is Jeffrey Epstein's Last Will and Testament, signed shortly before his death.
This 11-page document outlines the distribution of Jeffrey Epstein's assets after his death. It directs his executor to pay funeral expenses, administration costs, debts, and taxes from his estate. The remaining property is to be transferred to the trustees of The Jeffrey E. Epstein Trust One, created in 2001. The will appoints Darren K. Indyke, Joseph Pagano, and LAWRENCE NEWMAN as executors, with Jes Staley and ANDREW FARKAS as successor executors. This will has been a subject of controversy and legal challenges, especially concerning the accessibility of Epstein's assets for his victims.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN I, JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN, of Little St. James Island, United States Virgin Islands, do make, publish and declare this to be my Will hereby revoking all prior Wills and Codicils made by me. FIRST: A. I direct my Executor to pay from my estate my funeral and burial expenses, the administration expenses of my estate and all of my debts duly proven and allowed against my estate. B. I direct my Executor to pay from my estate the federal and state transfer taxes described in Paragraph B(l) of Article SEVENTH. C. I direct my Executor to pay from my estate all expenses of storing, insuring, packing, shipping and delivering my tangible personal property. SECOND: I give all of my property, real and personal, wherever situated, after the payments and distributions provided in Article FIRST, to the then acting Trustees of The Jeffrey E. Epstein Trust One created under that certain Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement") dated November 8, 2001, as amended from time to time, and as amended and restated contemporaneously with the execution of this Will, and as the same may be amended from time to time, to be held in accordance with the provisions comprising the Trust Agreement at the time of my death. THIRD: A. I appoint DARREN K. INDYKE, JOSEPH PAGANO and LAWRENCE NEWMAN to be the Executors of this Will. If any one or more of my Executors fails to qualify or ceases to act, I appoint JES STALEY and ANDREW FARKAS, singly and in the order named, as successor Executors. I authorize the last acting Executor to designate his successor as Executor. B. If my estate must be administered in whole or in part in any jurisdiction other than the state of my domicile at the date of my death and if my Executor is unable or unwilling to serve in such jurisdiction, then I appoint the first successor Executor of my estate designated in Paragraph A of Article THIRD who is able and willing to serve in such jurisdiction. If no Executor or successor Executor is able and willing to serve in 2657367.1 GJ_000127 EFTA00016865
such jurisdiction, my Executor shall designate a successor Executor to serve in such jurisdiction. Such designation shall be made by written instrument delivered to such successor Executor. C. No bond or other security shall be required of any Executor in any jurisdiction. D. Any Executor may resign by filing a written notice of resignation with the Court having jurisdiction of the administration of my estate. All of my Executor's fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees) attributable to the appointment of a successor Executor shall be paid by my estate. E. My Executor shall not be accountable or responsible to any person interested in my estate for the manner in which my Executor in good faith exercises or declines to exercise any discretionary authority or power of my Executor. My Executor shall not be liable for any loss or depreciation in value occasioned by reason of any negligence, error or mistake of judgment in entering into any transaction, in making any sale or investment, in continuing to hold any property or by reason of any action or omission, whether by my Executor or any other fiduciary, unless my Executor has acted in bad faith. In the absence of proof by affirmative evidence to the contrary, each Executor shall be deemed to have acted within the scope of my Executor's authority, to have exercised reasonable care, diligence and prudence and to have acted impartially as to all interested persons. An Executor shall not be liable for the acts or defaults of another Executor. FOURTH: The following provisions shall apply to my estate and to my Executor, except as is otherwise specifically provided in this Will: (1) My Executor has the entire care and custody of all assets of my estate. My Executor has the power to do everything my Executor in good faith deems advisable without necessity of any judicial authorization or approval, even though but for this power it would not be authorized or appropriate for fiduciaries under any statutory or other rule of law. My Executor shall exercise my Executor's best judgment and discretion for what my Executor believes to be in the best interests of the beneficiaries hereunder. If more than two Executors are empowered to participate in the decision to exercise or not exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Will or by law, a majority of such Executors shall be empowered to make such decision.

Executors shall be empowered to make such decision.

Such designation shall be by written notice delivered to such successor Executor. G. (1) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein and except as provided in Paragraph G(2) of this Article, my Executor shall allocate receipts and disbursements in accordance with sound trust accounting principles and shall have discretion to allocate receipts and disbursements when the treatment is uncertain under applicable laws or generally accepted accounting principles in the judgment of my Executor. (2) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Will, my Executor shall not treat any part of the principal amount of the proceeds of sale of any asset of my estate as income distributable to or for the benefit of any beneficiary entitled to distributions of income; provided, however, that my Executor shall treat a portion of any proceeds of sale of any financial instrument originally issued or acquired at a discount equal to the amount which (a) has previously been characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes or (b) will be characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes in the year of such sale, as income for trust accounting purposes. FIFTH: Where a party to any proceeding with respect to my estate has the same interest as a person under a disability, it shall not be necessary to serve legal process on the person under a disability. SIXTH: If any beneficiary under The Jeffrey E. Epstein 2001 Trust One ("the trust") shall in any way directly or indirectly (a) contest or object to the probate of my Will or to the validity of any disposition or provision of my Will or of the trust or (b) institute or prosecute, or be in any way directly or indirectly instrumental in the institution or prosecution of, any action, proceeding, contest, objection or claim for the purpose of setting aside or invalidating my Will or the trust or any disposition therein or provision thereof, then I direct that (a) any and all provisions in the trust for such beneficiary and his issue in any degree shall be null and void and (b) my estate, whether passing under my Will or the trust or pursuant to the laws of intestacy, shall be disposed of as if such beneficiary and his issue in any degree had all failed to survive me. SEVENTH: A. As used herein: (I) The term "Executor" of a person's estate means all persons or entities who occupy the office of executor, administrator, personal representative, or ancillary administrator while such persons or entities occupy such office, whether one or more persons or entities occupy such office at the same time or times, and includes any successor or successors to that office. The term "Trustee" means all persons or entities who occupy the office of Trustee under the Trust Agreement while such persons or entities occupy such office, whether one or more persons or entities occupy the office of Trustee 7 2657367.1 G.1_000133 EFTA00016871
at the same time or times, and includes any successor Trustee or Trustees. A reference to a person's estate or probate estate means that person's estate which is subject to probate administration. A reference to a person's Will means such person's Last Will and Testament and any Codicil or Codicils thereto. (2) The term "IRC section" means a section of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the corresponding provision of any successor Internal Revenue law, as in effect as of the date of my death. (3) A reference to any tax also includes any interest or penalties thereon.

(1) The federal and state transfer taxes which my Executor shall be obligated to pay pursuant to Paragraph B of Article FIRST shall consist of all federal and state estate, inheritance, succession, and similar taxes (including any federal or state generation-skipping transfer tax) imposed upon my probate estate or by reason of my death in respect to all assets which pass under this Will or the Trust Agreement. Subject to Paragraph B(2) of this Article, all federal estate taxes with respect to assets not passing under this Will or the Trust Agreement (such assets are referred to as the "Apportionment Assets") and any applicable state estate taxes with respect to the Apportionment Assets shall be apportioned among all persons interested in the Apportionment Assets. My Executor shall make reasonable efforts to collect all federal estate taxes and state estate, inheritance, succession and similar taxes allocable to the Apportionment Assets from the recipients of the Apportionment Assets. Without changing the apportionment of taxes in this Paragraph B(1), my Executor has discretion, but is not required, to pay all or part of such taxes allocable to the Apportionment Assets. To the extent my Executor pays such taxes allocable to the Apportionment Assets, my Executor shall seek reimbursement for such taxes from the recipients of the Apportionment Assets. My Executor shall not be personally liable for any of such taxes if my Executor is unable, with reasonable efforts, to collect payment (or reimbursement) from any recipient of any Apportionment Assets for any or all of such taxes allocable to such assets. (2) My Executor has discretion to direct the Trustee of the Trust Agreement to pay all or any portion of the taxes which my Executor is directed or obligated to pay pursuant to Paragraph B of Article FIRST and this Paragraph B pursuant to a written direction delivered to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Will, a bequest or devise to an individual who does not survive me shall lapse notwithstanding 8 2657367.1 Gl_000134 EFTA00016872
any law to the contrary. D. To the extent that the distribution to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement pursuant to Article SECOND shall not be effective, I give all the rest of my property, real and personal, wherever situated, after the payments and distributions provided in Article FIRST, to the person or persons named as Trustee or Trustees under the Trust Agreement, be to held in trust under this Will in accordance with the provisions comprising the Trust Agreement at the time of my death, which provisions are incorporated in this Will by reference.
