NEW YORK — Real estate baroness Leona Helmsley's estate gave away $136 million Tuesday to hospitals, foundations and the homeless and left $1 million to animal charities, prompting one advocate to accuse the estate of failing to honor the hotel tycoon's wishes.

Animal charities upset with court's decision
Helmsley's estate announced 53 charitable grants Tuesday, the bulk of which went to New York City hospitals and medical research. The largest grant, $40 million, went to create a digestive diseases center at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, while $35 million went to start two research facilities in Helmsley's name at Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Animal rights groups rejoiced last year amid public reports that Helmsley specified in her will that her multibillion-dollar hotel and real estate empire should go entirely to dog-releated charities.
The estate for Helmsley — who died in 2007 at age 87 — divided $1 million equally to 10 animal charities, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and several groups that train guide dogs for the blind.
But a surrogate court judge ruled in February that trustees for the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust had sole authority to decide which charities benefit from her estate.
Wayne Pacelle, chief executive of the Humane Society of the United States, said Tuesday the amount of donations to animal charities — ranging from the animal cruelty prevention society to groups such as Canine Partners for Life — doesn't reflect Helmsley's wishes.
