He excluded his grandchildren from the will, leaving his assets, amounting to 4.3 million euros, as an inheritance to an animal rights association.
It happened in Carinthia, Austria, where the last wishes of a wealthy elderly woman who passed away have created a real media case.
In fact, the Supreme Court of Vienna dealt with the affair, which confirmed the validity of the will of the 93-year-old woman signed in England.
The old woman died in 2016 at the age of 93 and her wishes were drawn up according to Austrian law, which provides for a minimum share for descendants. English law, on the other hand, does not have these constraints and, since the woman was an English citizen and also considering that the assets are managed by two investment funds from the Isle of Man, English law has been imposed.
