After 1987 it was not his to leave to anyone. His right to control the 
work ended when the copyright on it ended.

Hospitals are supposed to be supported out of taxes - we certainly pay 
enough taxes via NI and income tax.

While JM Barrie's copyright existed donating the money raised was all fine
