As part of his estate planning, the patriarch told two of his adult children, Felix Jr. and Diana, about $350,000 in gold coins and $50,000 in cash he kept in a Coconut Creek bank safe deposit box. A third child, Frank, already knew about the box and was given access to it as executor of a previous version of his father’s will.
