Summary
This document is a Motion for Award of Attorneys' Fees filed by the Co-Executors of the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands. The Co-Executors are requesting $112,216.90 in fees incurred while successfully defending against the Government of the Virgin Islands' (GVI) attempts to intervene in the probate action and freeze estate assets. The document details the history of the GVI's failed motions, the complex nature of the estate, the funding of the Victims' Compensation Program ($121 million+), and justifies the legal fees based on the attorneys' experience and standard rates.
