The battle over his inheritance, and the widow got everything, because she was the one who’d stayed by his side until the very end! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
The eighty-four year-old elderly, Tsuei after marrying his wife from China six years ago, his four children cut off all contacts with him, his wife stayed by his side, never abandoned him, Tsuei wrote in his living will, that all of his estates, and savings shall go to his own wife, after he died, his children registered for the battle for his inheritance, the judge believed that the will the elderly man set up was valid, and all the inheritances went to the stepmother.
The Taoyuan District Court investigated, that after the elderly, Tsuei married his new wife from China, his four children stopped interacting with him, the elderly was bedridden, and his second wife stayed by his side, never abandoned him, took care of him long-term, five years ago, the elderly man wrote his own living ill, that after he passes, all of his properties, as well as savings shall all be left to his wife.
Last year, when the elderly passed, the four children didn’t want their stepmother to get everything, they’d immediately filed for the properties to be registered under the four of them, Tsuei’s wife filed a suit, said that the living will her husband wrote was valid.
In the court sessions, the four children claimed, that their father started having symptoms of dementia and depression, that back then, their stepmother was his nurse’s aide, she’d tricked him to marry her, then, coaxed him to write the living will, and that the handwritings on the will showed many inconsistencies, that it wasn’t, from the same person, and they’d used the claims of their father being elderly, was emotionally unstable, that the will was, invalid.
The judge called the drafter of the will, the attorney testified, that as he was drafting up the elderly man’s will he was lucid, and very emotionally stable, that the elderly dictated everything, and he merely, wrote it down, then, he’d shown what he’d put down to the elderly, then, made the drafts of revisions for the elderly to read over, then, the elderly sighed, with two witnesses there.
The two witnesses testified, that they were there, through the whole process of drafting of the will, that they’d signed as the witnesses themselves in person.
The judge believed that the marriage of the elderly with his second wife was registered, thus, valid, and that the living will matched the legal requirements, that it was, also valid, but the four children can still have an-eighth of the inheritances, and that they were to give back the seven-eighth of the will they took from their father.
And so, these children didn’t get their father’s money, because they didn’t look after him, it was the woman he’d married who’d, stayed by his side until the very end, and so, the inheritance rightfully goes to the second wife, plus, the elderly had drafted up a living will, so there’s, no contest over it.
