Millionaire banking boss s daughters LOSE court battle with their step-mother over his £7m estate dailymail.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from dailymail.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The widow of a top banker who is locked in a legal battle with his two daughters over his £7million fortune said their lack of respect and gratitude made him feel like Shakespeare s King Lear, a court has heard.
Tony Shearer, the former head of merchant bank Singer and Friedlander and finance governor of Rugby School, died at 68 in October 2017 from a brain tumour.
Following his death, almost all of his fortune was left in the hands of their stepmother, with nothing in his will for his daughters - Juliet, 40, and Lauretta, 38.
They claim they are due maintenance from their father s estate to replace a generous financial provision they had.
