The eldest daughter of Miguel Boyer I had thrown in the towel a long time ago. In the last two years, when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and learned the seriousness of her illness, she said that she was not going to want to fight beyond what is tolerable. And after the death of her father he realized that it was better to give up the inheritance that could correspond to him than to wage a painful battle against her own brother, Miguelthe other son of the former minister and the doctor Elena Arnedo. And much less claim the possible assets that would have corresponded to his paternal sister Wellthe daughter born of her father’s marriage to Isabella Preysler.

Laura he was aware that his father’s estate had been used to care for Boyer when he suffered a stroke that left him virtually disabled and required permanent and very expensive care until his death.
Laura preferred to give up her inheritance than fight for the impossible. She barely had a relationship with Isabel Preysler in the last years of her father’s life, she considered her responsible for seeing little of her and for making it difficult to be with him in the house she shared with Isabel.
In his last testament, the former Minister of Economy of Felipe Gonzalez he left his patrimony to his three children equally and the part of the improvement he awarded to his wife Isabel.
There was little to share. Three good brand cars and a few years old for his son Miguel and some of the 6,000 volumes in his library. The rest would be for a foundation created in his name, of which today, by the way, we have no news. We have only seen those books after Boyer’s death, in his library, with Mario Vargas Llosa posing seated before the shelves.
The most valuable asset of Miguel Boyer’s heritage is a sculpture of Mariano Benlliure that represents his great-great-grandmother and that should have corresponded to Laura. There was also a picture of Fernando Alvarez de Sotomayorportrait of Miguel’s mother, awarded to Isabel Preysler.

Laura Boyer would have liked to have those two works of art but the executor and the lawyers did not make it easy for her. With her sister, Ana, it was hardly about her and when she did it when it came to talking about her inheritance, there was no understanding either. So Laura threw in the towel and chose discretion and silence. Rest in peace.
