After a loved one passes, following their wishes in their will is an important part of caring for your family’s legacy. But, what if they wanted to leave $1 million to a male escort?
According to a recently published court ruling, a B.C. widow has done just that — but her family is alleging the will is invalid.
Janet Henry, an 84-year-old woman from B.C. passed away in November of 2021, leaving the majority of her estate (valued at approximately $1 million) to a male escort named Simon Garstin — professionally known as Sam Gaines. Henry and Garstin met over Skype in February of 2021, had a number of “overnight visits” which then resulted in a final three-night stay in October of 2021.
According to the decision, Henry’s closest living relatives filed a claim disputing the will back in January of 2022. Weatherill’s recent ruling has given the green light for the will contest to proceed.
