Fred Trump dies at the age of 93, and the family finds out that his oldest son Fred Jr.’s wife and kids have been erased from the will. (Fred Jr. died earlier.)
The Trump family faced a bitter inheritance battle after Fred’s death. The exclusion of Fred Jr.’s children from the will triggered a legal dispute, challenging the validity of Fred’s will and casting a spotlight on his family taking advantage of his dementia.
Donald Trump temporarily stopped medical benefits for Fred Jr.’s son during the legal battle, adding to the controversy.
The family alleges that Donald sent an accountant and a lawyer to see his father eight years earlier, telling him to immediately sign a document changing his will. Fred was diagnosed with cognitive issues shortly after.
