Ok, I'll go contrarian to most on this thread. It seems there may have been major trust issues and concerns about him by his late wife and her family. And sure enough, he had so much trouble getting over his grief that he already has a girlfriend less than a year and half after his wife dies tragically...just about the same time he filed suit. Not a good look if you ask me.
Family claims the change in beneficiary was something discussed with his knowledge well before it was formerly changed when she stopped treatment.
He didn't challenge it until 16 months later....well after the insurance proceeds were already paid out to the sister? If he believed straight-up fraud occurred, as alleged, wouldn't he contest it immediately?
Family claims a separate bank account was set up for the funds to be specifically spent on the daughters' education, etc.
Family claims the wife wanted them to have her wedding ring and rolex, specifically to give to her daughters when they were older as heirlooms.
Neither of the above sounds outrageous and could quite easily be tracked. In fact, I bet they could reach a settlement whereby the funds/jewelry were held in trust to be used for the girls. But, instead it seem like it's him that wants the money. Coincidentally just as he quits his job, and also starts dating some other lady.
Yeah, I bet that's all gone over real well with his wife's family. Perhaps his wife knew exactly what she was doing in trying to look out for her girls. He wasn't even home half the year (before resigning) so his wife's family probably spent more time with his daughters than he did. I think his wife knew who to trust....and it's not the guy that already has a new girlfriend.
Regardless, it's really sad. Going to be tough on those girls one way or the other.
Flame away.
