Alternative will[edit]

As the outcome is unknown at the time of writing this, I thought it might be better to place the following paragrath here rather than in the article itself. It can always be copied over once more information becomes available. This is Paul (talk) 15:19, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When John Hill filed his wife's last will and testament shortly after her death, Ash Robinson quickly produced an alternative will, which he said had been written at the time Joan was separated from Hill. The will made Robinson her executor, left everything to him, and asked that Robinson and his wife have custody of her son. It was signed by two of Robinson's friends, one a former employee. Hill believed the will to be a forgery and hired three handwriting experts to attest to that fact. Thompson observes that Joan Hill's signature is different to that in a previous will, and that it had been "clumsily typed, replete with spelling mistakes and language more likely to be used by someone imitating legal terminology". Hill asked the District Attorney's office to investigate, but Cecil Haden suggested the matter be dealt with once the issue of Joan's death had been addressed.^[1] Robert Hill contested the will in 1978, claiming that it was a forgery, but a probate jury found in favor of Robinson.^[2]^[3]
