warhol photographer billy names estate under dispute 1234753814
A jury trial is underway in Kingston, New York, to determine who will control the estate of Billy Name, the artist and photographer who lived with Andy Warhol in the 1960s and documented the Factory scene. Name died in 2016, and two competing wills have emerged: one from 2011 naming his niece Suzette Linich as executor, and another from 2015 naming his agent Dagon James. Linich argues Name lacked mental capacity when signing the later will, while James insists Name was lucid and fit.
