Estate Transfer: Daughter Moves Dying Mother’s Hand
In a distressing case that has garnered significant attention, a daughter has been accused of manipulating her terminally ill mother into signing over her entire estate.
Margaret Baverstock, 76, who was suffering from advanced dementia and other health issues, was filmed in March 2021 as her daughter, Lisa, guided her hand to sign a will bequeathing the entirety of Margaret’s £700,000 estate to Lisa, excluding her son, John.
The video evidence, presented in court, depicted Lisa physically assisting her mother’s hand to sign the document, while Margaret appeared unresponsive, only able to utter simple affirmations like “yeah.”
The court ruled the will invalid, stating that Margaret lacked the mental capacity to understand the document’s contents at the time of signing. Consequently, the estate was ordered to be divided equally between Lisa and John, and Lisa was directed to cover John’s legal expenses.
