A man has taken to social media to express his desire for justice on behalf of his mother, a caregiver who spent eight years of her life taking care of a wealthy man.
The man rewarded her loyalty before he died by leaving her a house, a car, $100,000, and an extra $5,000 a month for the rest of her life in his will.
But now, his family is fighting the will in court, trying to deny her the inheritance.
When doctors told the wealthy man he only had eight months to live, his mother, a caregiver, took over his care, he wrote in a long post on X (formerly Twitter). She took care of him, and he lived another two years.
He gave her $50,000 before he passed away, but she did not know that he had also left her a $100,000 inheritance and a $5,000 monthly stipend for life in his will.
The man’s family has taken her to court on multiple occasions in an effort to have the will overturned, despite abundant evidence, including a video and court documents.
“My mom retired in 2017. She took care of a very wealthy man. Before his death, he gave her $50,000.”
“She didn’t know about the $100,000 in his will, along with the $5,000 per month until she is no longer alive. The family has tried to stop it four times. Well, they’re trying again. Lol,” he wrote.
“They have their own money, but they want their father’s money too. It belongs to them, not anyone else. Because of her, he lived an extra two years… They gave him eight months to live, and he credited her cooking and care for his extended life.”
According to him, the wealthy man anticipated that his family would contest the will, so he included a no-contest clause.
Despite this, they persist in challenging the inheritance.
“He put a no-contest clause in the will, yet they’re still trying to stop the money. Most of his kids didn’t get as much as my mother… A car here, a house there, some jewelry… and millions went to charity. His lawyer is defending my mom, and he tells her she has nothing to worry about.”
The man further revealed that his mother’s lawyer is the same one who drafted the will, assuring her that no judge could overturn it since it is legally documented and supported by video evidence.
“Her lawyer is the father’s lawyer. He told her there’s nothing a judge can do. It’s not only in writing but also in video. He made sure to add the no-contest clause because he knew the family would try to stop it.”
He also recalled an incident where the family once fired his mother without the wealthy man’s knowledge.
When he found out a week later, he had all five of his children personally apologize to her, arranged for a car service to take her to work and back, and compensated her for the wrongful termination.
For now, the legal battle continues as the family searches for a way to challenge the inheritance.
