After his death, a fund was created for medical research on tuberculosis. The resource was managed by Mary until her death in 1988. Balfour tells us in his book a little about the management of Herbert's capital after he passing away. | |||
<blockquote><q>Herbert Dunhill left two wills dated 31 March 1948. One concerned only his property in Monte Carlo; the other intimately concerned the future of Alfred Dunhill Limited. In the second will, he named three trustees: his nephew, Alfred Henry Dunhill (Alfred Dunhill’s son), his niece Mary Dunhill (Alfred Dunhill’s only daughter), and Samuel Ernest Cash (his solicitor, business adviser and founder-director of The Parker Pipe Co. Ltd). They were charged with a long list of responsibilities; chief among these was the administration of one half of his estate (amounting to about £250,000, all in Dunhill shares), which was to become the Herbert E. Dunhill Medical Trust. This Trust was to become a very substantial shareholder in Alfred Dunhill Limited.</q> Balfour, Michael, Alfred Dunhill, One Hundred Years and More (Weidenfield and Nicolson, London, 1992).</blockquote> | |||
