A signed sketch by Picasso was placed eye-catchingly near the front door. He had two, possibly three, Mercedes-Benz, a $300,000 condo in Colorado and a $345,000 house in Florida. He also had more than $3 million in an investment fund and several hundred thousand dollars in a trust fund for his daughter. Department insiders...
