Elizabeth Edwards' Will - Leaves Everything To Kids; No Mention Of John
Posted on Jan 06, 2011 @ 06:27AM
Elizabeth Edwards left everything to her children in her last will and testament, and perhaps not surprisingly, she made no mention of her estranged husband John who humilated her by not only having an extramartial affair, but fathering a child with another woman.
"All of my furniture, furnishings, household goods, jewelry, china, silverware and personal effects and any automobiles ... to be divided among them ..." Edwards said in the document dated December 1 -- just six days before she died of breast cancer at the age of 61.

Edwards has three children -- Catharine, Emma and John. Her son, Wade, died in a 1996 car crash. He was only 16.
The will names her daughter Catharine, 28, as the executor of the will.

Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after her husband John lost his bid for vice president in November 2004.
In 2008, months after quitting the presidential race, John Edwards finally confirmed that a story in the National Enquirer that he was involved with former campaign videographer Rielle Hunter was in fact true.

Eventually, on August 8, 2008, on ABC'S Nightline, Edwards also admitted to fathering a child with Hunter -- an allegation he initially denied even after admitting to the affair.
Elizabeth filed for separation from John last January, but the couple never officially divorced.

John does not feel awful. It was common knowledge in NC that he ALWAYS had affairs with other women. He was told by Reille that she could not have children and he got her pregnant. John deserves a life of hell with Reille.

elizabeth aided and abetted in the cover-ups of those affairs. she was willing to help hide the one with rielle so they...not just he...could still try for the white house.

Did John OWN the house they shared while married?? Did John get that multi million estate? He was staying in their beach home when they first separated AND John had bought the mistress a home in NC.

it was a joint asset. he's worth about 25 million. or so that's what i heard on tv this a.m. no mention of what elizabeth was worth on her own. they say one problem with her will...she left cate as guardian for her brother and sister.

the estate advisor being interviewed said that wouldn't hold up. she can't negate his parental rights through her will. she gave an interview to people, she said she was not leaving cate as guardian. she wanted the children with john.

I've heard that he wants to lay low for awhile, do good deeds and then run again for public office. Is he crazy? Does he honestly ever think he could wipe that stain away? John - give it up. Your political career is D E A D.

Somehow I doubt that John cares. If he didn't care that he was running around while she was dying of cancer, then why would this matter to him? He seems to have no feelings in his puppet-head.

RIP She was a well respected woman and did not deserve what John did to her. I hope he will do the right thing now and never marry that witch he had the affair with.
