‘My Dad Left His £1 Million Fortune To A Wife I’d Never Met’ | This Morning

Ойын-сауық

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!

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.

    ​@@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 wife went home to her home country with his life savings, proceeds of house sale the lot. Never to be heard of again. (She even took his ashes) !!!!!

    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.

    Hey, when aired on TV the photos aren’t blurry, they blur them when they upload clips to KZread for copyright reasons. They have permission/the copyright holders permission to show on the programme at that time on that station. If a show then decides to upload to another media site such as this one, they blur the photos. It is very annoying though as I don’t watch regular tv nowadays lol. Hope this helps. 😊

    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.

    Nobody is owed anything. It’s not your money until someone decides to leave it to you. Kids aren’t owed anything. If the new wife fored him to change his will that’s another matter. If my mum chooses not to leave me any money then that’s up to her. It’s HER money. I am not entitled to anything unless she wants me to have it. It’s HERS, until she is gone, and then it’s whomever she wants it to be.

    All true. But dementia is a disease, & her father sounded like a nice man until he got ill with symptoms. 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... It’s quite simple really.

    I totally agree. The right thing for the new wife to do would be at the very least split it with his daughter or give it all to her. They fell out before the new wife came along though. But were I the wife I would absolutely split it. My mother tries to threaten my sister all the time with cutting her off. But I always tell her whatever she gives to me I will split with my sister if she cuts her off. Because it’s not worth falling out with your family over something is a silly as money you aren’t owed.

    Its amazing to me that your brain can ignore the fact that the new wife, 4 decades younger than him, married him less that a year before he died and when he wrote his new will leaving her everything, 2 months before his death, made multiple mistakes about his own life - not even knowing where he was from - meaning his mind clearly was not functioning properly and he couldn’t even recollect things properly. 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 daughter said that he refused to spend his money on Care Home fees, that’s the real reason he kept his wife at home. The fact he didn’t pay his daughter decent wages for all her hard work in building up his business shows that when it came to money, he had a mean streak. I know men like this, relying on their daughters love to get them to do everything so they don’t have to pay other people to do the work.

She has cut many of us off because we told her that she is making herself ill looking after her mother and that her mother would receive more appropriate care in a Nursing home. Their house is an absolute tip, the mother often looks disheveled. The garden is so overgrown you can barely get to the front door. Neither of them eat well. It is so sad.

    Reading between the lines: if the daughter won her case due to a contested Will based on Non-Compus Mentis, Undue Influence and I suspect Promissory Estoppel had some bearing on the amount she got, that also suggests that the daughter contested due to being 'owed' money she had failed to get in life - as asserted in this video - and because her father was not thinking right anymore (non-compos) but also - and most critically - that his new wife had asserted some sort of threat against her husband that she would not take care of him unless he left her his money. Undue influence always involves negative not positive influence - some sort of threat or fear of something they might lose 'unless they.....', it is not about persuasion. Seems like a mean spirited old man whose new wife was exploitative of him and just as nasty to him as he had been to his daughter over how he had badly treated his first wife.
