Grab it all, kids. Don’t let the whore enjoy any of your mother’s possessions for even a minute!!!
It is all academic. John Edwards is the sole surviving parent of the two younger children and he was the one with the money, not Elizabeth.
John Edwards will probably sue.
Through the sad news of her going to her final resting place, I am so very happy to hear she was able to make sure that slime of a husband she had will receive no payola. Of course, Johnny Sleep Around is a sleaze of a lawyer. So he will probably find a way to get his paws on something.
Reported by the National Enquirer two weeks ago.
Since it was him who made the family’s fortune then he doesn’t need her stuff.
Good for her. He’s a schmuck. I am a care giver for my breast cancer surviving wife, tail end of battle year 1. I am a 3 1/2 year survivor of colon cancer stage 3. In sickness and in health is what we pledged.
Wasn't he married to her?
It's not like he's going to be left destitute, after all.
Definately two Americas in that household.
25 mil, and all without the pesky burden of a conscience.

I don’t think money was the point of her actions. By cutting him out of receiving ‘china, furnishings etc.’ that he bought and wouldn’t want anymore anyway, she is stating her true opinion of him after staying rather quiet throughout John’s public humiliation. This final act seems to say ‘yes, he really is as bad as you all suspected he was’
In NYS It is not possible to disinherit one’s spouse. What is the law in NC?
She may leave her personal effects to whomever she chooses, but her financial assets are regarded differently since they remained legally married at the time of her death.
Any FReeper lawyers from NC?
Edwards is strange in many ways, besides being an adulterer, but Mrs. Edwards was a piece of work, too. Both of them were the kind of neighbors one hopes to never have. I wish their children well, though it’s hard to imagine that they have escaped their parents’ dysfunctional ways unscathed.
I had low regard for her but may her soul Rest in Peace.
As for the scumbucket John Edwards, aren’t we fortunate we did not end up with him as President!
We’re so lucky, we got the Obamanation instead.
.... but just imagine if the Edwards soap opera had played out into the White House....
There’s always another ambulance for John to chase.
She should have left him with one dollar ... the traditional method of overcoming a “He/She forgot to leave me anything” probate appeal.
That doesn’t show the entire picture does it? If they were still married, John has access and control to all the money. Unless they divided the money before she died.
It’s not like she has completely disavowed her “husband”. I have no doubt that she will still vote for him and for the liberal to socialist candidates he supports in every election over the next decade.
