I agree with the widow. His will says that for any child of his son to be included in the will the son had to marry the mother of the child within 6 months. Obviously a gay man can't be a mother so he's out of luck.
Quote:
The edict surfaced in the will of Manhattan businessman Frank Mandelbaum, who specified that none of his money should go to any offspring his son Robert might have if he “not be married to the child’s mother within six months of the child’s birth.”
Frank Mandelbaum, 73, died in 2007, and his will prompted Robert Mandelbaum, a Manhattan Criminal Court Judge, to argue in a court battle over the estate that his longtime partner Jonathan O’Donnell is the only “mother” their 16-month-old son, Cooper, knows.
The couple married shortly after Cooper’s birth via a surrogate, entitling the child to a share in a $180,000 trust set aside for Frank Mandelbaum’s three grandkids, Robert declared.
The father was being cruel to both his son and his grandchild. Fortunately, a probate judge will make the final decision - not the mean-spirited, dimwitted homophobes on this forum.
Great example of a hateful parent. And all of you who support the father are hateful too.

Would I have done that a my child and grandchild? No. But it was the deceased father's money to do as he pleased with. It will be interesting to hear the court's take on this.
I'm wondering how the bigots here would feel if the father's son had been straight, and said that his son could only receive the inheritance if he marries a man and adopts a child with his new husband.

Another right winger always on the side of the rich a-hole, can count on that as much as the sun rising
