That pesky “Y” Chromosome always trips them up!
Check the neck. DOH!!!!!!!!!!
Was the marriage legal under Texas law?
“What a tangled web we weave, when at first we practice to deceive”
Time to add DNA testing to the wedding license requirements.
Dude, this guy had no luck at all. Imagine dying in a fire after finding out you have been married to a guy? Shoosh. I will note, that the bride looks marvelous.
Gay deception and he still feels entitled to the estate.
He died fighting a fire in an EGG FACTORY. Now there’s some irony.
She was fraudulent in getting married if she kept that information from him.
So this was “extremely... embarassing” to their son and the way his parents decide to honor his memory is by “outing” the whole sordid affair??? Oh, yeah -— there’s money involved.
If he died intestate, his children will more than likely be awarded a substantial portion of his estate and any settlement anyway. The parents and ex-wife are just trying to impose their disapproval on the new wife’s “transition” and get their hands on all the money themselves.
“Waiter, I ordered over easy...take these back.”
Dying without a will (intestate, to use the legal term) means that you have no say in the distribution of your estate and it all goes according to state law and the named beneficiary(ies) stated on insurance and pension papers. Of course, this potentially fraudulent marriage may bear on how the judge settles the estate but the starting point is clearly stated in the law.
That's gotta be embarrassing!
Nikki Araguz, left, leaves the Wharton Civic Center after the July 12 funeral of her husband, Thomas Araguz III.
She also would not discuss her birth name or whether she was connected to the criminal history of Justin Graham Purdue, which includes at least three theft convictions.
Nikki Araguz, a native of northwest Houston, ran an unsuccessful bid for Wharton mayor against a volunteer firefighter this past spring, drawing 30 percent of the vote. She closed her magazine, Wharton County Living, immediately following her husband’s death.
It was NOT a marriage!!!
who did he name on his insurance as his death beneficiary....if it was her/him/it then case closed. he should have gone right in and changed that if he wanted it to go to his parents.
If “she” was born a man and did not tell this fellow before they wed, then “she” is in violation of the marriage contract and shouldn’t get a thing.
