In addition to inheriting her father's possessions, Liza Minnelli inherited his house, the Minnelli mansion in Beverly Hills, according to the Los Angeles Times. However, she didn't inherit full control over the house. While Liza technically owned the property, Vincente's wife at the time of his death, Margaretta Lee, was granted express permission to continue living in the house until her death.
This arrangement would become a problem in 2000, when, 14 years after Vincente died, a battle erupted between Liza and Margaretta Lee over the home, according to Curbed Los Angeles. Reportedly, Liza wanted to sell the home, but Margaretta Lee refused to move out. Liza sold the house anyway, and thereafter stopped paying for upkeep of the mansion, including the electricity bills, in the hopes of pushing Margaretta Lee out. In the end, after much back-and-forth, Liza ended up paying rent to the new owners for Margaretta Lee to remain in the house until her 2009 death. According to a 2021 posting at Insider, the owners have yet to decide whether to restore or demolish; the house was essentially abandoned.
