It seems the Mum kept things separate until her youngest reached 18 and then decided it was her time now and sold her home to live with him. He carried on paying the daughters living expenses until he could no longer afford it financially, people his age don't have many years left in work to pay off debts like that.

She is not his daughter- he does not owe her anything technically. No- he is not a generous type but that is not a crime which is why the judge had to technically side with him- even if she did not like him. He is not very likeable but she also needs to grow up and pay her own way in life. Over the years I am sure he paid for a lot of her stuff. In 15 years he only wants costs for a funeral that she promised at the time to pay for...and she is sitting on $50k. I am more on his side- sorry. You probably relate more to her. Do you have people pay for you- is that what love means to you? Learn to pay your own way- over time, he will get tired of it, trust me. It never ends well.

I love these types of cases. I always take them as an educational practice for myself and others. Let's really take a second to think things through. I saw a lot of comments about the girls being selfish or that the plaintiff (fiancee) was in the wrong to sue the girls. What we need to focus on is that the deceased and the plaintiff were together for 15 years engaged for 3 years. BUT NOT MARRIED! This was the biggest issue. The plaintiff probably already took financial hits due to his partner being on dialysis and unable to work. Yes there is an estate but it was never clarified to the young girls what it should be used for. They think it should be used to start their life. I actually can see how they think that since in movies and TV shows that's how it is viewed, however the debt that the deceased does incur the estate should pay for. This is why conversations, paperwork etc need to be in place at all times. The girls should have been aware prior too what happens if anything were to happen to her mom. You really never know when it's your time. We can say it's a moral right but he may have kids of his own and bills for them. If we play house, these types of things will happen. I don't care if you have $1000k in the bank. A simple conversation with your kids and proper paperwork will help your loved ones deal with expenses and drama that may incur.

[@queenbritt176]

I don’t agree with the judge being sympathetic to the girls but the man who’ve been with this lady for even longer than they were born even as friends lost his partner. So to completely disregard his feelings is distasteful.

15 year relationship, then a three year “engagement”. Now there’s a strong commitment. Not.

[@kafkal2281]

Although we don't live together, my SO and I have been "dating" coming up 12 years. Depends on just how you want to live your lives and be compatible in that decision. Believe me, it IS a strong commitment.

​@@paultin3302how do you know she (the deceased fiance) wasn't the one who held off on marriage. You're assuming that the guy was the one dragging his feet. What if he wanted to get married all along but she was the one who hesitated?

After 15 yr relationship I'm surprised he wasn't aware of her life insurance coverage. Not including she had serious illnesses. People need to turn off the TV, put down the phone ,back away from the computer and talk about what really matters.

[@Gandrewjm]

I would have paid as well, but I definitely would have expected some compensation when her estate was settled. I'm sure the defendant splurging on a new car only made things worse. She should have used the money to first cover her mom's expenses.

[@kandi668]

Was there not some investment from the mother selling the house? Seems like he should have paid something for the funeral services. 15 years is a long time to be with someone and not feel responsible for some part of their life.

[@kafkal2281]

I agree. I'm sure they re-invested the money she received for the house, living together and all. I'm surprised JM didnt address this aspect. But it probably had nothing to do with the outcome, per law.

[@shanebarrett3996]

Deplorable?! What?! I think the fact that the judge called him deplorable because he was trying to get his money back is a little triggering for me. if the man is not rich and he needs the money to make ends meet, what is so deplorable about that? It's her own mother's funeral, and she believes she should pay absolutely nothing towards it? but be able to pocket all the money that was left behind? Is it me, or is the judge showing bias in this case?

This girl is a piece of work for her entitment

[@billgoodman3537]

Every time I have paid for a funeral for a family menber, it took years to get them to pay back their portion of the cost. I usually get critizism the funeral was "too cheap", not enough flowers, I did not rent a limo for the family. None of the dead persons friends showed up because "the funeral was out of their way". I was told to NOT handle the funeral arrangement by several family menbers who did not like the way I did it. When those people died, I had to arrange for the funeral and pay for their burial. They died broke.

That wasn't his children or was he married their mother to be legally responsible so for them two adult girls to not pay for their own mothers funeral with the estate after is just unappreciative and selfish.

[@chuck9380]

She was your mom before she was his wife and the estate is suppose to pay for burial.

[@paultin3302]

Wow people are so mean, he claimed he knew the woman 15 years but has no respect for her to even pay half the funeral bills, that love?

[@Angela-qq6kq]

Or a different way u could look at it is, she didn’t love him enough to put him in her will to leave him any money from her estate, yet her daughter who got it was so selfish that she couldn’t even pay a little towards her own mothers funeral cost.

The estate got 50k so it would make sense for the estate to pay it especially when the dude is going broke.

I believe the defendant is a manipulative liar. The soft voice is questionable too. The judge was out of line for how she sided with the defendant's based on emotions.

The worst part about this is that she's being like "I was a 19yr old girl who's mother just died", negating the fact that he also just lost the love of his life and his best friend of 15+ years. So sad.

[@lillianwilliams5510]

He may be their father but not married to the mother. The grandmother may not have wanted the girls to live with her, especially if she didn't get any money.

[@timeme03]

I think she is using the estate $ to pay for the apartment that she now has. Which is sad because if she just gave the $ she would have been there rent free at least for a couple more months

He's not their father.

[@WonderingHead]

Aww the mother😢

[@lillianwilliams5510]

Young generations feel they are entitled. This is why it is so important to have insurance plus a WILL or Trust So sad for these young ladies. The information about her mother's demise was heartbreaking but could happen to any of us. Blood thinners are not always good. If you get insurance or inherited money at least pay the funeral expenses. many families get duped thinking there is insurance or savings or cash. The mother probably didn't think her boyfriend would have to help with expenses. so many things can happen to insurance money. People really should educate themselves on executors of their assets If a family can't pay for a funeral the state will pay. Social security pays a stipen. Why did it take so long for the mother and. Boy friend to plan to get married. it does seem strange the mother passed after she sold her home.

[@lillianwilliams5510]

I have had to pay funeral expenses for many relatives who had insurance but not enough. Family members do not help or pay back so always get a contract or promissory note and have it notarized. The funeral directors are notary republics. Cremation is also expensive. I am not having a funeral just a grave side brief service. Too much drama and expenses for the family. I just have a realistic approach to death. These young ladies were hit with an unexpected bolder. The plantif knew every detail about the death and the daughters said very little. Strange. They were both old enough not to live with their mother and should have gone with the grandparents. 19 years the plantif was in the life of the defendant's mother then when they decided to live together the mother dies. I believe the defendant. They could have had a funeral for the exact amount of insurance, or less. The embalming and casket and burial site are the most expensive. It is all the extras that cost. Now there are laws that protect families so funeral directors can't charge outrageous prices the average BASIC funeral is$10,000.00 AND THAT IS NO EXTRA FRILLS. FAMILY AND RELATIVES COME TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO GET. I DARE SAY THE PLANTIF HAD HIS OWN POLICY AND PROBABLY HAS ONE ON EACH GIRL. WAS HE THEIR FATHER I do believe he harassed the defendant, but he didn't have to volunteer to pay expenses they could have had a basic funeral. I dare say the mother felt she had adequate coverage and wanted her daughters to have something. She may have also felt the daughters would help the grandmother Love dies quickly when money is involved and family can be leeches. Writing from experience

Most 19 year olds are not mature enough to handle planning a funeral and if they get any money. Rarely know how to handle or invest it. They will go through money so fast If they had. $50k insurance policy no excuse not to pay funeral expenses.
