The Inheritance War
The reading of the will was supposed to be a formality. The music legend, who passed away three weeks ago from heart failure, had always been clear about his intentions: his vast publishing rights and properties were to be divided equally among his three children. But yesterday, the atmosphere in the lawyer’s office shifted from grief to absolute shock when an unknown attorney produced a document nobody had ever seen before.
This document, dated just four days before his death, claims to be a new will. Its contents are explosive. It revokes all previous testaments and leaves the entirety of his $500 million estate to a single beneficiary: his private nurse, a woman who had been in his employ for less than six months. The document explicitly cuts out his three children, citing "lack of affection" as the reason.
"He was heavily medicated and couldn't even hold a pen. How could he sign away his legacy?"
The family immediately cried foul, and it appears science is on their side. We spoke to two independent handwriting analysts who reviewed high-resolution copies of the document. Their conclusion was unanimous and damning. They pointed out significant tremors in the handwriting that do not match the star's known motor skills in his final days, as well as ink density inconsistencies.
Forensic experts have now gone on record stating that the signature is a definite forgery. It appears to be a clumsy trace over an old autograph from the 1990s. The nurse has gone into hiding, refusing to answer calls from the press or the family’s legal team. What started as a tragedy has turned into a felony investigation, and the fight for the fortune is about to get very ugly.
