After Snipes, who gets $1.4 million, and Legacy Jayleen, who will be given $1.3 million, his youngest son Emery is set to receive $482,000 and his oldest son, Eric, will get $204,000. Garner's daughters Erica and Emerald Snipes are each getting $163,600. The head of Garner's estate, his mother Gwen Carr, will be receiving $82,000 from the city.
