Author Cartland Left No Money in Will

British romantic novelist Barbara Cartland, who became the world’s best-selling author by churning out hundreds of romantic sagas, has left no money in her will, the London Daily Mail reported. Dame Barbara, who churned out more than 600 titles in about three dozen languages, died last May at 98. But the newspaper said her $1.7-million estate would be worth nothing after her debts and liabilities were paid. The paper said Cartland might have shrewdly distributed money years before her death to avoid inheritance taxes.
