Topic: Comments ReEally welcome on cutting someone from a Will--

Additional Comments: 1.) I think that by telling the person that he/she has been cut is a form of control!
2.)One can wait and die and never know the response of the person cut out--that is non-controlling!
3.)One can wait in case one changes one's mind!
4.)Someone might leave people in the Will in spite of harm that was caused and let them feel guilt???? for the rest of their lives with the millions.

5.)Do you have a choice you would make?

6.)I would choose my only child, no matter what she had done, good or bad, as that is what feels right to me.
Thanks

It's Victor's money. He can do whatever he wants to with it. Let's pretend one his kids was a drug addict, or another one was married to a controlling spouse who burned through money. It's not unheard of in real life for parents to skip a generation and leave their money to their grandchildren. He could burn it if he wanted... lol!

That said, I don't think what Nick and Victoria have done deserves him leaving them out of his will entirely. Especially since he's got SOOOO MUCHHH money. Perhaps more like leaving them out of anything having to do with Newman Enterprises would prove his point, if that's what he's trying to do.

I can't imagine cutting my children out of my will.  Unless one was an addict and I was afraid of his addiction getting worse and even then I would set up a trust or something that would provide for him if he was ill or whatever.  There are many ways to set up a will so they don't get the money immediately.  Victor doesn't owe them the money but he could look at his part in the problems fwith his childrens.

I had a thought when Victor changed the will, suppose Victor plane goes down and he's presumed dead and the will is enforced?  Of course he is not dead after all, but Adam sure would love that scenario.  LOL

Well we are dealing with TGVN here so you know he is not going to cut the kids out without telling them he did so, where would be the drama in that. He is a control freak that wants to dominate everyones world which he pretty much does so why he still needs to be so cruel I really don't get.  I really would like the Vic defenders to be sentenced to a  year in this guys family and then see how much they would love him.

  • I wonder that myself. I wouldnt want him to be my brother, father, husband. Not even my neighbor or my clerk at the grocery store. I have often wondered what his fans find appealing.
  • I feel sorry for Nick because he's really innocent in all this; but Victor doesn't know that. When Victor confronted Nick about the article Nick didn't deny any involvement, He just told Victor not to tell him what to do. What's Victor supposed to think? He couldn't help but assume Nick was in agreement with running the article. As for Victoria, I think she deserves all the wrath her father can throw at her. I don't blame Victor one bit for being angry and cutting them out of his will (and possibly his life). I do feel sorry for Nick. He's made some bad choices that are going to kick him in the rear now.

    Remember Joan Crawford who married into Pepsi?

     

    In 1955, she became involved with PepsiCo, the company run by her last husband, Alfred Steele. After his death in 1959, Crawford was elected to fill his vacancy on the board of directors but was forcibly retired in 1973.

     

    She had adopted four children, because it was fashionable to do so. Her funeral was held at Campbell Funeral Home, New York, on May 10, 1977. All four of her adopted children attended her funeral.

     

    In her will, which was signed October 28, 1976, Crawford bequeathed to her two youngest children, Cindy and Cathy, $77,500 each from her $2,000,000 estate. However, she explicitly disinherited the two eldest, Christina and Christopher. In the last paragraph of the will, she wrote, "It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them."

     

    The 1981 film Mommie Dearest, starring Faye Dunaway as Crawford, was based on Christina's  bestseller exposé entitled Mommie Dearest which contained allegations that Crawford was emotionally and physically abusive to her and her brother Christopher.
