Hollywood actor Jean Hackman, who was found dead at his home with his wife and his dog last month, dropped his children out of his wish. But children can still inherit the fate of their $ 80 million, which was established a few years ago.
The New York Post reported that the documents were shown as the only beneficiary, individual representative of his property, individual representative and successor trustee of Jean Hacmine Living Trust in the documents.
Recent court documents stated that in 1995, Mr. Hackman appointed Arkawa Hackman as the successor of the Jean Hacks Living Trust, which amends the structure of his so -called Gebe Revocable Trust. On June 7, 2005, he said in his will: “I give my full assets to Betasi Arakawa Hackman.”
Now, with the death of all the beneficiaries named in your trust, inheritance can go to your children by default.
Mr. Hackman had three children – Christopher, 65, Elizabeth, 62, and Leslie, 58 – from their previous wedding. They can challenge the trust if they do not automatically inherit their fate.
What works in their favor
He stands before the New Mexico Supreme Court to benefit from a legal example established by the 2009 Chapman vs. Varela case. According to the ruling, a trust can be considered zero in the event of suspicious circumstances that are unjustly affected by Mr. Hackman during the installation or amendment of the trust.
If the person benefiting from the claim fails to prove that everything was done impartially, it can go against him, and the person claiming – children – in this case can inherit their fate.
How did Jean Hackman and Betsi Arkawa die
The bodies of Mr. Hackman and Ms. Arkawa were found in their Santa F. Ghar in New Mexico, when emergency services were called to her property.
According to reports, Mr. Hakeman spent his last day in isolation after his wife, Ms. Arkawa, allegedly died a week before the actor’s death. Mr. Hackman was suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s and depended on his wife. She died of a rare viral infection, huntwirus, which is caused by rodents.
