But rather than donate the property themselves, they wanted to cash out and let the buyer donate the property.; २६/१०/०९, ४:०९ PM

Ha. What exactly does she think a "nonprofit retreat for artists and scholars" is?; २६/१०/०९, ४:४६ PM

It was Bergman's wish, and part of his will, that the property be sold and the money divided amongst his children.; २७/१०/०९, ५:०८ AM
Amexpat म्हणाले...: I'm not really a Bergman fan, but I was in Fårö bicycling around hoping to "accidentally" stumble upon his recidence on,unbeknown to me, the day his death was announced.

If you are in the area, Gotland and Fårö are definitely worth a visit, even if you aren't a Bergman fan.; २७/१०/०९, ५:१८ AM

No problem. Sell it to a trust for about $5 and let them preserve it. I doubt if the will was structured that there there was no way to do it other than sell, keep the cash and hope the buyer would donate it.; २७/१०/०९, २:५२ PM
