The legal battle regarding the legacy of businessman Richard Scott, known as the "King of Car Dealers" in England, has concluded. The London High Court ruled that Scott's £43 million fortune should go to his wife Jennifer Scott, whom he married while she was working as a cleaner, rejecting the lawsuit filed by Scott's children.
HE CHANGED HIS WILL Richard Scott had amassed a great fortune with the second-hand car market he established on his farm in Cheshire. A father of 19 children, Scott met Jennifer, who was working as a cleaner on his farm, in 1994. Their relationship progressed over the years and culminated in marriage in 2016.
Richard Scott After the marriage, Scott renewed his will, transferring all his property and the farm to Jennifer. This decision particularly excluded his eldest son Adam Scott, who was referred to as "the family's favorite," from the inheritance.
HIS SON'S APPEAL WAS UNSUCCESSFUL Following his father's death at the age of 81 in 2018, Adam Scott applied to the court to annul the will. In the lawsuit, he claimed that his father had lost his mental faculties due to dementia at that time and was unable to make sound decisions.
Adam Scott However, the High Court ruled that both wills were valid. The judge stated that despite Scott's illness, he made his decisions consciously, and his decision to exclude his son from the inheritance was 'a personal decision made of his own will.'
£43 MILLION INHERITANCE PASSED TO HIS WIFE Following the court's decision, Jennifer Scott became the sole heir to the £43 million (approximately 1.6 billion TL) inheritance. Thus, she became the heroine of one of England's most remarkable stories, having entered the farm years ago as a cleaner.
