True Story about Stedman 🙏🙏💕 He was Caught in a public toilet in my town ( New Malden) and it was right by a little place myself and friends would hang out, as much as we were devastated that he was gay, because he was Gorgeous we were also devastated that we missed him in the toilets lol 😂 ( like he was even going to be interested in teenage girls)
A Beautiful man, Gone too soon 🙏🙏💕💕

As his wife died first then surely his Will no longer has a beneficiary so everything will go to his next of kin - his children?
I think that’s what would happen in UK law but I’ve no idea if it’s the same in the US.

If he had a valid Will it would only go to children if he had named them in the Will wouldnt it?
If he put everything to go to charity if his wife pre deceased him, it would go to the charity.

Wills get challenged all the time though.

So we shall see.

If his will left everything to his wife, has she left a will?
Very sad circumstances all round, he was obviously estranged from his children, wonder if theyll start saying bad thing about him? Especially now he's no longer with us to say his side.

It'll end up in court and no one will get much because the money will get used for legal fees.

I am sure that this is the last thing on his mind.

She predeceased him so he can’t leave his money to someone who is already dead.

Her Will would still be valid if she left everything to him and usually that would now be included in his estate. However, I believe she included a clause/caveat that if he died within 90 days of her, her estate would go to charity. It said Gene left his entire estate to his wife but as she predeceased him his Will is invalid and he will be classed as intestate.

That’s how it works in the UK, no idea elsewhere.

It’s why you should always have a clause in your Will that, if your main beneficiary predeceases you, you wish the money to be left to XYZ. If you don't, it’s up to the courts to decide. I’m surprised a lawyer didn’t advise Gene of this but perhaps, given their age difference, they didn’t think this situation would arise. What a sad case.

I don’t know if this is still the case but years ago I read that if a couple died at the exact same time, for example in a car accident, then the law would class the male as dying last.

Thank you, that's actually very interesting, something me and my oh need to sort out.

My will leaves all to my husband but if he predeceases me it will go to our children. In the unlikely event that we’d all go together then we’d not be about to worry about it but I *think* it would be all left to my husband who would then be classed as intestate so his blood family would benefit and not my blood family which I’d not be happy about at all. Who said its a man’s world? 🙄

Perhaps with same sex marriages the law has now changed because how could you ascertain who has died last if both are the same sex?
It’s an antiquated law if it still stands and it needs updating so that, in the event of a couple dying together and becoming intestate, then the money goes to BOTH blood lines if there are any surviving.

I wonder if that is why Gene’s wife’s doctor is coming forward to say that he spoke to her after they say she died?
If they can prove Gene died first then his estate would go to her and subsequently to the charities in her Will.
I think this is going to get very messy and the winners will be the lawyers. 🙁

She did she named a charity as beneficiary after any medical bills were settled.

They don’t actually know for sure when she died it could be challenged if the charity has the funds to persue it.

Incorrect - law of common accident applies - eldest deemed to have died first.
