Aleister Crowley: This is the Last Will

Aleister Crowley
This is the Last Will


Aleister Crowley's Last Will and Testament (dated 9th June, 1947) annulled all previous Wills and named the journalist John Symonds (1914–2006) and the novelist Louis Wilkinson (a.k.a. Louis Marlowe, 1881–1966) as Crowley’s literary executors. Karl Germer (1885–1962) and the painter Frieda Harris (1877–1962) became responsible for Crowley’s personal belongings, while Germer took charge of the O.T.O.
Crowley's Last Will made no mention of Grady Louis McMurtry (1918–1985).

Crowley died an undischarged bankrupt on 1st December, 1947. The Official Receiver (the Insolvency Service of the United Kingdom) appointed to administer his affairs accepted Germer’s claim on behalf of the O.T.O. as an unincorporated association to funds of £450, as property held in trust by Crowley for the O.T.O.

After Crowley’s death, Germer, Wilkinson and Harris questioned whether the Official Receiver really was the legal inheritor of Crowley’s copyrights in consequence of Crowley’s bankruptcy. A voluminous correspondence dragged on throughout the following years, though all participants were sure the Crown (of whom the Official Receiver was the legal representative) did not in fact possess the copyrights.
