“So there is one thing you need to know. Your husband made a decision about his property long before you got married.
I felt anxious.
“What do you mean?”
The notary looked at me and said:
“You will not inherit anything.”
My
legs almost bent under me.
I grabbed the edge of the table.
“But why?” I’m his wife!
The notary looked at the lawyer in silence.
And he said:
“Your husband left an instruction that you obviously didn’t know about…”
I looked at the lawyer, not understanding what was happening.
“What disposition?” I asked.
The lawyer opened the file and took out a copy of the document.
“Your husband founded a special foundation a few years ago.
I frowned.
“A foundation?”
He nodded.
“The Foundation helps nursing homes for the elderly, pays for renovations, medicines, food and the purchase of necessary equipment.
I looked at the notary.
