Daughter disinherited from her mother's millions - one word could change everything
An only daughter who was disinherited from an inheritance of approximately 10 million shekels has filed an objection to her mother's will, claiming the mother canceled it by writing "canceled" on it. The heirs under the will are a private investigator, a charity, a distant relative, and a stranger. The daughter alleges improper involvement and exploitation of her mother's mental distress.
An only daughter, disinherited from her mother's will in an estate estimated at approximately ten million shekels, filed an objection to the will in court last week. According to the daughter, the mother canceled the original will when she wrote the word "canceled" on the document in her own handwriting. The heirs under the new will are a private investigator whom the mother had previously hired, a charity managed by him, a distant relative, and a stranger who the daughter claims exploited her mother. The daughter alleges that these parties had improper involvement in drafting the will. The rift between the daughter and mother began, according to the objection, following a divorce battle between the mother and her partner. The mother asked the daughter to open a bank account to hide money, and the daughter refused. The daughter claims the divorce conflict led to the mother's severe mental distress and delusions, and that the parties to whom she bequeathed her fortune exploited her distress and isolated her. The new will was signed just one day after the mother sold her apartment in Tel Aviv, and included an instruction for "immediate realization" of estate assets. The daughter's lawyers stated this is an exceptional case where the gap between the wills is extreme, and the most significant evidence is the word "canceled" written on the original will. Conversely, the lawyer representing the heirs claims this is a frivolous and bad-faith objection, and that the will reflects the deceased's clear and conscious wishes.
