On Monday, Page Six reported that Larry King’s widow, Shawn King, was planning to file court documents disputing his secret will. Her lawyers filed the documents in a court in LA on Tuesday.
Larry, who died last month at 87, filed for divorce from Shawn in 2019, and last week a ‘secret’ handwritten will appeared – in which Shawn did not mention and his estate of $ 2 million to his children left.
But Shawn, 61, claims in the new papers that Larry’s poor health made him susceptible to ‘outside influence’ and that he may not have even known he was signing the New Testament – and she says that when he died he , does not even plan to go through with the divorce.
‘Larry was highly susceptible to outside influences and at the moment he apparently carried it out [new version of his will] was of dubious mental capacity, recently had a stroke and was about to undergo a medical procedure (and possibly already under the influence of pre-operative medication), ‘the newspapers read according to the explosion.
She asks that a 2015 will, which she says said Page Six was made ‘as a couple’ by Shawn and Larry, be recognized as the true will and that she be appointed executor of the estate. document.
He wrote the new version of the will about two months after filing for divorce, but Shawn suggested in court documents that the estranged couple were about to reconcile when he died.
“At the time of Larry’s death, there was a divorce case that had been pending for some time,” the newspapers said. ‘Larry did not insist on the divorce and usually does not respond and refused to take part in the divorce process. He gave no indication that he actually wanted to divorce. ”
According to the blast, Shawn claims the new will “violates the terms of two different post-marriage agreements between herself and Larry.”
The documents are also directed at Larry’s middle son, Larry King Jr.
The Blast reports that Shawn Larry is accused of having a ‘secret account’ that he would give gifts to individuals using common property to which she is entitled, and that she claims to have received receipts for more than $ 266,000 between 2013 to Larry King Jr. -2018. ”
The website says she’s 50 percent of everything he does to Larry Jr. wanted to get back some of the couple’s common property.
Larry Jr. also asked to be appointed executor of the estate, but Shawn’s documentation reads: ‘Larry indicated that he did not even know about [Larry Jr.’s] exist, ”until the boy was in his thirties. They add that Larry Jr. “has never been involved in Larry’s career or business, and it would be highly inappropriate to put him in the position of representing Larry’s estate.”
In the secret will, Larry said he wants his estate to his five children Andy, Chaia, Larry Jr. and Chance and Cannon, his two sons, must leave his marriage to Shawn. Andy and Chaia tragically died in 2020 within a few weeks of each other.
