Jill Langley, a 70-year-old British woman, was dissatisfied that her Chinese stepmother, surnamed Qin, who was 16 years younger than her, received an inheritance of 680,000 pounds (approximately NT$27.51 million) from her late father. She filed a lawsuit and produced key evidence and successfully obtained the inheritance from her late father. Judge overturns father’s will.
According to the “Mirror” report, following Langley’s father Robert Harrington passed away at the age of 94 in May 2020, his 54-year-old Chinese translator Qin received up to 680,000 pounds (approximately New Zealand dollars) through her husband’s will. NT$27.51 million), which caused dissatisfaction among Lan Li and other relatives.
Langley pointed out that his father met through a “free food and drinks at Christmas” advertisement in a newspaper in 2018, and he believed that it was unlikely that the two would fall in love because of the fact that they got married following only 11 months of knowing each other, and his father got married 2 months following their marriage. Make a will “all the inheritance will be given to your wife”.
The attacker’s lawyer further revealed evidence. The diagnosis record proved that Harrington had abnormal behavior in 2015. He was mentally fragile and mistakenly believed that he was a retired Army major. He even believed that he had been estranged from his daughter for 30 years. It is accused that Qin took advantage of Harrington’s fragile and delusional mental state to encourage the man to make a will in her favor.
Langley also confirmed that the last time he saw his father was at his mother’s funeral in January 2018. At that time, his father was very weak, easily injured and incoherent. Shortly following the funeral, I received a letter from my father saying, “This is my last attempt to contact you.” In March 2020, I received a message from Qin’s daughter, “I just want you to know that your father remarried last year.”
Lan Li emphasized that on the day of his remarriage, his father was in such bad condition that he might not stand to take wedding photos and even “mightn’t say the bride’s name.” Before her father passed away, Qin’s daughter defrauded her father of 350,000 pounds (approximately NT$14.16 million) in the name of “care wages”, which caused his father’s wealth to shrink greatly. After his death, his father was even thrown into a “beggar’s grave”, which showed that his stepmother only loved his father. money.
Qin’s daughter argued that she only received 100,000 pounds (approximately NT$4.04 million) in care and living expenses when her late husband was alive, and that this passionate love was “sufficient in both sex and love.” She claimed that the two had sex in 2019 They met for the first time in January, moved in together in February of the same year, and proposed to the man in March of the same year.
The judge finally ruled that Qin Nv had lost her full inheritance rights and had to pay the lawyer who lost the case 139,000 (approximately NT$5.62 million) due to the fact that Qin Nv was not qualified as a caregiver and might not produce specific evidence of the salary for caregiving. He accepted Lan Li’s testimony and medical certificate. There is no fee, but according to the “intestate estate distribution” rules, the widow can obtain an inheritance of 475,000 (approximately NT$19.22 million) as a widow. Lan Li received the remaining NT$200,000 (approximately NT$8.09 million) in inheritance.
