  • Jill Langley successfully took her father's new wife to court after she was left out of his will. Jill’s father Robert - who died aged 94 - had updated his will just two months before his passing, leaving everything he owned to his wife of 11 months, Chelsea. The judge ruled that the will was invalid and that his wife had exerted ‘undue influence’ and ‘control’ over Robert and his finances, including being the ‘guiding hand’ behind his last will. Jill shares her story alongside her solicitor Caoimhe Turner to explain why this is a landmark case.

      Yes "what first attracted you to the millionaire 90 year old". My husband's stepmother 2 years older than him and 25 younger than his deceased dad buried my husbands dad in a new grave and not with my hubby's mum and now my father in law is dead she refuses to give the deeds so that my husband can look after his mums grave who died when he was a young man of 21. She professes to be a Christian. What a joke!

      ​@bambinaforever1402 Clearly, this woman's dad was under the undue influence of a third party for ulterior motives. For such a short-term marriage, it is easy to put together. Choosing between an adult child who is responsible, and a much younger, new on the scene spouse, the money should go to the daughter. The only other measure would be to divide the estate in percentages between the daughter and wife. Solicitors only wanted to make money on the dad.

      ​@@bambinaforever1402I agree that she was estranged and hadn't seen her father for at least a year and she would have found out if she had visited him. Her dad was right to try to keep his wife at home if he loves her. Who would so nonchalantly dump their mother in a care home if they have money to pay for her to be at home? However, she earned him at least part of the million pounds. The new wide hadn't invested any part of herself in that business so, I'd say she's entitled to something but not so much. Anyway, I was shocked when she said so easily that she received a letter telling her about the wedding a year afterwards. She obviously wasn't that worried for her elderly father's wellbeing.

The woman he married was nearly/basically 4 decades younger than him, married him a year before he died and when he wrote his new will 2 months before his death made multiple errors about his own life and couldn’t even remember where he actually was from showing that he was not fit mentally and his mind wasn’t functioning correctly. I *highly* doubt if you found yourself in the same situation with your own father you wouldn’t have a problem with it and contest it.

      My dad too. Single child, his mum died when Dad was a baby in 1936. His dad married a lady 15 yrs older than him, no kids. Poppa wrote in his hand-drawn will that his wife should have the right to live in their house until she died but then everything should go to my dad, who by then had a family and 4 kids. Wife challenged the will and everything went to her. Her snivelling nephew was in their house going through Poppa's paperwork while Dad was still visiting Poppa in hospital, away from home in the country town Poppa was passing through when he had a heart attack. Needless to say, wife's nephew got everything.

    A wife divorced her husband because of his adultery with another woman. After his ex wife's death, the man married his mistress, who outlived him. The second wife inherited his entire estate, and his ( adult ) children inherited nothing. Yet the second wife cannot understand the reason why her stepchildren want nothing to do with her ! A genuinely loving wife, even one with no affection for her stepchildren, would have taken steps, as a matter of principle & common decency, to ensure they received at least a share in the man's estate. He wasn't divorced from HIS CHILDREN !

    @r8chlletters 20 дней назад +9

    This is very common now, people who benefitted from their parents death then not passing on that wealth to their own children as well as becoming entangled in predatory relationships as they lose their cognitive ability. This is low hanging fruit for people tempted by financial gain and I know more than one adult child with a parent being preyed upon by a “love interest”. There is a reason people throughout human history pass on what assets they have to help their family survive and hopefully thrive. This generation now approaching their 80s and above has broken this unspoken rule and yet lived with some of the greatest wealth opportunities seen in the past century. As this generation needs significant help in dementia care it is even more important courts can protect family who are nearly always the only ones doing the care work and upholding basic protections for their loved one.

    Objectionafiably defiant and contrary is something that presents with some people who have dementia and the executive functioning area can deteriorate as well. There can be personality changes and they resist loved ones assisting them away from their faulty decisions. This makes them vulnerable to financial exploitation by people. They can disinherit their family and do very reckless financial moves. It is very good to see that there are judges and courts that understand this.

I *highly* doubt that if you found yourself in the exact same position with your own father/mother you wouldn’t do the exact same thing and not even for the money but because someone has taken advantage of your parent who was vulnerable.

The Will wasn’t changed until after the marriage (there are devious narcissistic people do marry for the inheritance). Were I to marry a man that age with one child, I’d insist she got the inheritance because she’d earned it. Nothing about it being her due of corse, just that it would be right: she had loved him for 60+yrs & I’d only loved him for one...
