A [man] who waged a decades-long battle with [his] conservative Jewish Orthodox parents to compel them to pay for [his] gender reassignment surgery has won a multimillion-dollar payout from [his] deceased father’s estate. (web.archive.org)

Notwithstanding Jessica’s behaviour, including her plans to kill him, Peter continued to support her financially. The weekly allowance that he provided from 1999 onwards was generous enough that she did not need to go and look for work... By continuing to support Jessica for all those years, Peter allowed her to become financially dependent on him, and to lose much, if not all, of her capacity for employment.

I do not like this judge.

Jessica Joss was awarded $3.225 million by Victorian Supreme Court judge Elizabeth Hollingworth despite not being a named beneficiary in her father’s will and a foiled plot by Ms Joss to kill her father with a crossbow during a bar mitzvah celebration at her parents' synagogue.

Imagine what kind of precedent this dumb bitch just set.

So what's the point of having a will if some random scumfuck judge can just determine where your assets go after your death, regardless of your wishes?

The same question is asked by a thousand men yearly when Pre-nups are thrown out despite being used in the exact manner they were made for.

Yeah, I already knew pre-nups were worthless. Women get what they want 95% of the time in court. Just didn't think wills were too

Given this is a female judge in Canada, its still a "woman" getting her way in this court case too.

Hopefully estate law isn't as cucked as family law. Even so, the dad should've fully disowned his offspring after the crossbow incident to prevent court shenanigans like this.

In Canada that might be considered a hate crime to disown a trans son.

When you love game of thrones so much you want to make a precedent for crossbow based patricide.

[Edit] And subsidizing dick removals too, I guess.

their relationship finally deteriorated in August 1999, when [Mr] Joss devised a plan to kill [his] father with a crossbow at a bar mitzvah.

Dude tried to crossbow his dad... Dysphoria isn't the only mental illness going on in that head

wow, we are fucking doomed. boooy if I had access to that much money I'd spend it on something generational not chopping body parts off. I guess the dude is crazy but where the hell is the line going to be drawn with this stuff?

No one thinks about generational wealth anymore; the number of people (even highly educated ones) who plan to die having "bounced their last check" is surprising.

Because the gov taxes the shit out of inheritances.

If the value of the assets being transferred is higher than the federal estate tax exemption (which is $11.58 million for singles in 2020 and about $23.16 million for married couples), the property can be subject to federal estate tax.

In contrast, with inheritance taxes the focus is usually on who the heir is. And while it’s possible to owe estate taxes at the state and/or federal level, inheritance taxes are only collected by states.

Only six states impose an inheritance tax. So if you’re inheriting something from a person who lived in any of the following places, your inheritance might be subject to state taxes:

Maryland, Nebraska, Kentucky, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa

The people I was thinking of weren't the sort who would need to worry about this but rather the professional middle class who have enough saved into retirement to maintain their professional middle class lifestyle. The sort who after a few generations might accrue generational wealth.

Assuming that she got most of the money, what would be the point in going to court rather then just give it the money directly.

Let's hope they can take this to the supreme court. That worthless judge actually dared to list every reason why this piece of shit doesn't deserve a single dollar and then awards it anyway.

Wait, the creature gets $1600 A WEEK and still has the fucking gall to claim his father wouldn't pay for him to get his cock cut off? Man, that freak and the judge both need to be sent to the gallows.

If I were the surviving family members, I would rather set everything on fire than give that degenerate piece of shit another cent.

As soon as he is done chopping parts off, and finding that it doesn't automagically fix his problems... he will follow the path of all the other well adjusted transitioners, that transition life.

That tranny will kill himself in a couple of years anyway, either by suicide or by substance absuse. Usually people that mental do not live long. Money will speed up the process considerably, it's not like that he would invest them or start a business.
