Thank you for the correction. I read the article too quickly,
and misinterpreted the sentence

 > The closure came as the estate began to deal with a number of 
properties that no longer had a billionaire benefactor to help keep the 
doors open, and in line with what the estate says was Allen’s desire to 
sell his assets after his passing.

It is the estate's position that Allen wanted the museum's assets
to be sold, and not Allen's stated wishes.
