Buffett estate
Recently Buffett wrote a letter stating that he would be donating $1.1 billion of his Berkshire Hathaway shares to his family’s four foundations. He added that his three children would be responsible for distributing the rest of his holdings after he dies.
Buffett has also added the “unanimous decision” provision, which dictates that all three children must agree on what to do with the money that’s left to them for philanthropic efforts. If one child says no, then they must respect that child’s wishes.
