Listen, my point was not to "bash Mary" (although I have little love for her) but simply to explain that there is due process that must be observed in cases like these. You CAN'T simply show up and start grabbing things, even if the will says that item is supposed to go to you in the long run.
The executor of the will has to do his/her part, and debts have to settled. I have some familiarity with these things, being an executor myself. As to who the executor of the will is, it should be pretty cut and dry: either Mary is, or she isn't, the executor. This stuff is spelled out very explicitly to try and avoid situations like this. It may be that Mary was at one time the executor of his will, but he may have updated/changed things after their relationship ended. In that case, the most recent version of his will is going to take precedence. Whether that is "right" or "what should happen" is irrelevant-- that's the law, and it's that way for a reason.
"Mary comes off as a gold diggin' bitch content to ride the coattails of a celebrity and through his life, thrust herself into the limelight."
Yes, I understand how a will and an executor works. It did seem like your point was EXACTLY to "bash Mary. You literally spelled out multiple different possibilities, including some where Mary would be well within her rights. Yet, you had no problem calling her "gold diggin' bitch" and argued that she is exploiting her children.
Do you guys have trouble with reading comprehension? Yeah, that's why I posted the second post that said my
point was not to bash her. The
point I was making was about the process that needs be observed. Obviously I
did bash her, she IS a gold diggin' bitch (in my opinion, based on what I've observed of her publicly). I was trying to clarify and say that was not the point I was trying to make-- I only offered the "bashing" as an aside. I could write paragraphs about what I really think of her, but that's not the point.
The point is that REGARDLESS what I think of her, and REGARDLESS of what she thinks she is owed, she must observe the due process.
Maybe you went further than you intended. My point is just that you dont know, I dont know, and we fans may never know. We dont have the necessary perspective to judge Scott's family life.
Don't know what? I know exactly how a will must be processed. Obviously I don't know what's in the will, but either way, the original story that was reported that I was commenting on turned out to be almost entirely false anyway if what Brett posted up is to be believed. And I'm more inclined to believe his report anyway...
Doesn't change what I think about Mary though, and I think anyone that sticks up for her after she had the gall to post that "letter" after Scott died should think again. I don't give two shits if she's the mother of his kids-- simply being a mother doesn't automatically mean one is capable nor qualified. That's all.
