Rudolf Șuțu additionally notes: "With him we lost the very last gentleman of that fine race of gentleman of the heart, and gentlemen of the mind, standing for old Moldavia. He was a prince not only through his birthright and his blood, but more than everything though his natural intelligence, through his acquiring of a solid culture, through the charms of his great loving heart". The funeral oration was delivered by Macedonski. Sturdza was survived by his wife Ralu, who soon began a new life as a nun in Agapia Monastery. The other living heirs were Pavelescu-Sturdza, as well as two other adoptive sons (Dimitrie Popovici-Sturdza, Captain Costică Ștefănescu-Sturdza), and granddaughter Olga. These and other relatives inherited his wealth, in accordance with his will, dated September 1895; the Beizadea had wanted his palace to be passed on the infant Prince of Romania, the future Carol II, but the gift was rejected by his grandfather, Carol I. Not included in this arrangement was another illegitimate son, the artisan Gheorghe Boboc, who sculpted his father's mausoleum at Bellu cemetery (which also featured a bust of the defunct, by Antoine Bourdelle). The legal battle over Mihail Sturdza's inheritance was still ongoing in 1903, by then involving only siblings Dimitrie and Maria. Similar litigation surrounded Grigore's own estate, which had been much reduced by expenses in the other trial. Journalist Alexandru Sc. Miclescu, who was serving time in Văcărești prison, claimed to have accessed a more recent will of the Beizadea, and obtained a release on bail in exchange for presenting it. The case was ultimately closed when this document was deemed a forgery. Through Olga Boga and her husband Henri Meitani, Sturdza had a great-granddaughter; in March 1935, she committed suicide, or was murdered by her father, upon the revelation that she had fallen pregnant outside marriage. In 1920, other Sturdzas moved the Beizadeas remains out of the Boboc mausoleum, relocating them to a new grave at Agapia; the surviving cenotaph was vandalized in 1955. From 1908, the Sturdza–Dissescu villa was entirely rebuilt by Grigore Cerchez as a Romanian Revival structure, and currently houses the George Oprescu Institute for Art History. The Romanian Sturdzas, meanwhile, ran into financial difficulty with the upkeep of Sturdza Palaces. The one in Bucharest was overwhelmed by the homeless, and ultimately sold to the Romanian state in 1904, through the intercession of Conservative writer Duiliu Zamfirescu. It came
