The lawyer called the condition under which the model can be excluded from the number of heirs.
After the musician Alexander Gradsky passed away in November last year, the Web started talking regarding the war of his heirs. The artist left behind a rather large fortune: the property alone, recorded in his name, is rumored to be worth a billion rubles. Now, two of his adult children from a previous marriage, two young sons from the model Marina Kotashenko and herself directly claim the wealth of the late master.
Shortly before his death, Alexander Borisovich officially formalized relations with Marina, which made her the heiress of the first stage. However, once morest the background of recent events, there was talk that the widow might be recognized as an unworthy heiress and deprived of Gradsky’s property.
Rumors on this topic appeared following Kotashenko became the victim of a daring robbery on January 16, as a result of which she lost one hundred million rubles. The widow told law enforcement officials that she was trapped by auto-substitutes who entered her car and, at gunpoint, forced her to go to the mansion, where she gave them a bag of cash. Not everyone believed in the story, and some even said that the socialite might have planned the crime so as not to share money with other heirs.
Meanwhile, lawyer Mikhail Alekseev, in an interview with correspondents of the publication “TVNZ“Said that rumors and suspicions are clearly not enough to deprive Kotashenko of her inheritance. “This is possible only if it is proved that the person committed a crime once morest the deceased,” summed up the human rights activist.
Another reason to believe that Marina is an unworthy heiress was the statement of Gradsky’s sister Natalia. She said that the model allegedly forced the master, who was dying, to marry her, so this marriage can be considered fictitious. Alekseev noted that in the event that one of the heirs files a lawsuit to recognize the marriage of Kotashenko and Gradsky as invalid, and the court, in turn, satisfies it, the model will be excluded from the number of heirs.
