19 autographed wills have no legal effect! An 80-year-old man in Shanghai, mainland China, wrote a total of 19 wills within 4 years, but because of conflicting contents, his daughters broke up and fought legal battles after his death. In the end, the court judged the 19 wills to be invalid for “one reason”.

According to the “Pengbai News” report, the old man surnamed Cao wrote a total of 19 wills between 2013 and 2017, promising houses for his two daughters and one granddaughter. After Cao Weng passed away in 2021, the second daughter of the beneficiary of the first will filed a lawsuit against his sister and niece, arguing that only the will is valid.

However, the court found that although the 19 wills were indeed written by Cao Weng himself, the contents were contradictory. After checking Cao Weng’s medical records, it was found that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2015. It is difficult to determine when Cao Weng wrote the will. With capacity for civil conduct, all 19 wills were determined to be invalid.

After two years of see-saw, the daughters finally reached a settlement recently, agreeing that the second daughter who has no house will inherit half of the real estate share and bear the inheritance tax, and the eldest daughter and granddaughter will each bear 25% of the share, and jointly settle this rare will case. curtain.
