Arturo Gatti's Widow Loses Bid For 150K, and The Dog

[PackosCotto]

I see her suit to get $150,000 as quite normal. As the widow, she's entitled to get a reasonable sum every so often for running expenses. Especially since she's the sole heir.

I believe the judge's ruling was wrong.

On another point, it's standard ruling, in every country, I believe to nullify every previous will on marriage. I'm assuming this will comes under the jurisdiction of the United States.

I can't see the family winning with a 1907 will, which probably dates from before Gatti and his wife even had met.

My feeling is, that unless they prove the will a forgery, or that Gatti was subject to "undue influence" or the wife was involved in a crime resulting in Gatti's death, she will win.

As Gatti was a mature adult, able to earn $6 mill, and sane, he had full freedom to make her his heir, regardless of what presure she is suposed to have put o him. He had the mind to make his own decisions, and "love" ons/or the losing of his wife if he didn't sign is not, repeat, not regarded as undue influence.

Certainly not sufficient to invalidate a legally drawn up will.

Just my opinion...no charge.

this is a different case, gatti was murdered, thus this judge will not overlook that. Regardless of the bull**** rulling that went on in brazil. In brazil anyone can be bought out, if she promised the police 500,000 dollars if they drop the case im sure they would drop it in a heartbeat.

Gatti's will schemozzle

I see where Mrs. Gatti has been awarded $40,000. I think the judge is wrong. Whilst the proceedings are ongoing, I believe that she's entitled to being able to live in the manner she was accustomed to, before Gatti died. She's not responsible for the delay, the rest of the family is.

Apart from everything else, if the marriage took place AFTER the 2007 will was made, then, as far as I am aware, marriage invalidates all previous wills, unless they are subsequently restated as before the marriage.

The fact that she has a legal will upholding her claim means a lot, legally, anyway..

Just my opinion.......

Y
OU say that Gatti was murdered, but the local authorities say suicide. If the wife was implicated in the murder, then she cannot benefit. But if she WASN'T, even though it may be proven as murder, the will should stand.

However, as I said, the investigation says "suicide". THAT is what has to be changed before there's any question as to whether she's NOT entitled to inherit.

And she has to be implicated.

What information do you have that two pathologists in two different jurisdictions did not?

What patholigists are you reffering to? Because the last time I checked Dr. Badden & the coroners from Qubec have not released the ruling yet. And you would have to be a moron to think they would wait 3 months to come out at the end and say "Oh ya, he did kill himself". Obviously he is waiting to tell the world something....and he will. Unfortunatley, we all have to wait to hear it. I feel bad for his famlily that they have to sit around patiently while everyone assumes they know what happened and listen to people talk about believing all the stories of suicide. The truth will come out soon enough....Arturo did not die by his own hand.

CKrooster1, I can't understand why Al Haymon is so fixed on the leaked report from Canada? There are approx 2 individuals on this forum, that are totally and utterly conviced that it was death by suicide, before Canada's final conclusion comes out....makes you wonder, why the impatience?
