Paternity Surprise
I work as a Paralegal for a small but really old Law Firm in Texas. I work with a few attorneys who handle Estate Planning and wills.
This man was a doctor. Died. He was worth about $2,000,000. He wasn’t very wealthy, and we also handled a lot bigger cases. But, he had 5 kids and an ex wife. After he divorced, he came out as gay and moved in with his partner.
After he died, his will stated that his house and money would go to his partner. His kids, tried to argue it. We ended up going through mediation. His Partner actually requested a paternity test on the fathers frozen specimen. It took a lot of legal pull, but in the end…
It turns out all 5 kids were not actually related to the now deceased father. The partner got to keep the estate. Story credit: Reddit / ParkwayDriven
