Jobless truckie's mysterious inheritance

AN UNEMPLOYED truck driver has been named sole heir of the father he never knew existed - a businessman and secret society member - and will inherit his $350,000 estate.

He grew up believing he was one of his parent's three children, but he was really the product of his mother's torrid affair with a member of an ancient secret society.

Today the unemployed Adelaide truck driver is $350,000 richer because the Supreme Court has named him the sole heir of his true father - a man he never knew existed.

The driver, known only as AMH, has won a lawsuit he began after his mother learned of his real father's death.

She then revealed the shameful truth she had hidden for 50 years - tearing her family apart.

In documents obtained by adelaidenow, Justice Kevin Nicholson says that painful confession, supported by tests showing AMH's genes are different to the brothers he grew up with, prove his paternity.

AMH now stands to inherit the lucrative estate bequeathed to his real father's niece, who had disputed his claims in court.

In the documents, Justice Nicholson says AMH's mother, Mrs H, was a trainee nurse in the 1950s.

It was then she met his true father, Mr M.

"Mr M was a member of the Rosicrucian society and he would often attend her house with Rosicrucian books," he says.

Rosicrusianism is a secret society believed to have been founded in medieval Germany.

Its teachings embrace philosophy and mysticism to promote global spiritual enlightenment.

Although they were both married, Mr M and Mrs H began a sexual relationship in 1967.

They would meet for sex once a week at lunchtime - Justice Nicholson says AMH was conceived during one of those trysts.

"Mrs H's memory of this was vivid because the timing caused her to feel extremely ashamed," he says.

"It was two days after her wedding anniversary and one day prior to her husband's birthday.

"She felt terrible shame in having engaged in an extra-marital affair... and particularly so given that she fell pregnant."

He says Mrs H's "introverted, largely platonic" husband never doubted AMH was his child.

Mr M, however, knew the truth.

"He never denied it... indeed he was very happy and said he was proud to have a son," he says.

Mr M's wife filed for divorce in the early 1970s, naming Mrs H as his mistress.

Mrs H swore a false affidavit insisting there was no relationship.

Justice Nicholson says Mr M and Mrs H last saw each other in 1974.

"He asked her to leave her family and run off with him," he says.

"Mrs H refused and told him that he should go back to Mrs M... she never saw him again."

Mrs H and her unwitting husband raised AMH with their children - two sons and a daughter - until his death in 1994.

Mr M died interstate in 2009 without having had other children.

Under the terms of his will, his niece was appointed administrator of his estate.

Mrs H learned of Mr M's passing by reading a newspaper death notice.

She then told AMH and his half-siblings the truth.

"She decided to do this because she had a terrible feeling of grief and a feeling that she had lost the opportunity to get them back together," Justice Nicholson says.

"She also wondered if Mr M left anything for AMH because he knew he was his son."

AMH subsequently underwent a DNA paternity test - the documents do not indicate whether this was ordered by the court.

It showed AMH's genetic profile was different to that of his brothers.

"This revelation came as a complete shock to AMH," Justice Nicholson says.

"He had never had any previous indication that his mother's husband was not his father.

"As a result of this, Mrs H experienced some problems in her family... her daughter thought it was something terrible and never got over it."

The case went to court because Mr M's niece disputed AMH's claim.

However, she said she would concede the estate if a court declared him to be Mr M's son.

In his final ruling, Justice Nicholson says AMH is entitled to his birth father's estate, and orders the niece to surrender it.

He also pays tribute to Mrs H's courage.

"I have little doubt at all that, as time passed, Mrs H became more and more anxious and ashamed about the affair," he said.

"She was rightly concerned about the reactions of her children and, in my view, acted bravely in telling AMH and her other children about these events that took place so very long ago."

Retirees leave inheritance wanting

Leaving large estates to their children is just one retiree myth that has been busted. Source: National Features

MOST retirees don't think it's important to leave an inheritance, and even the family home is losing its attraction as an asset to pass on to the children.

Jeremy Cooper, an architect of the major superannuation reforms to take effect this year and the chairman of retirement income at financial services group Challenger, says the inheritance issue is one of several retiree financial myths that should be busted.

The message to today's retirees and their children is that life has changed and retirement is now longer and more expensive, Mr Cooper says.

"The cost of living is nothing compared with the cost of living longer," he says.

"The myth that most retirees will put their kids' inheritance ahead of their own lifestyle in retirement may have been true of the very frugal 'silent' generation but is outdated today especially in our capital cities."

Previously unpublished data from last year's Challenger-sponsored Seniors Sentiment Index found that just 15 per cent of retirees believe it's very important to leave an estate.

"Even the family home isn't that important anymore to leave to the kids," Mr Cooper says, with the research finding that just 52 per cent attach any importance to leaving it.

He says another myth is the belief that retirees can take the ups and downs of the market.

In reality, more than 37 per cent say they cannot tolerate any losses and only 13 per cent say they would tolerate more than 5 per cent in any one year.

It's also a myth that retirement is a time to worry less about money, with more than 56 per cent concerned they will outlive their savings.

Mr Cooper says one of the largest and most dangerous myths is that retirees believe they will live on average for 20 years after age 65.

Today the average life expectancy at age 65 is 22 years for men and 25 for women, but one in five will live about 30 years, he says.

HSBC Australia's head of retail banking and wealth management, Graham Heunis, says we are likely to spend more than 20 years in retirement but only have 11 years worth of savings despite being willing to reduce our income by a third.

"A newly published HSBC report that asked 15,000 people in 15 countries including Australia about their retirement intentions found that 60 per cent of Australians admit they are not adequately preparing for post-working life," Mr Heunis says.

Jobless truckie's mysterious inheritance

AN UNEMPLOYED truck driver has been named sole heir of the father he never knew existed - a businessman and secret society member - and will inherit his $350,000 estate.

He grew up believing he was one of his parent's three children, but he was really the product of his mother's torrid affair with a member of an ancient secret society.

Today the unemployed Adelaide truck driver is $350,000 richer because the Supreme Court has named him the sole heir of his true father - a man he never knew existed.

The driver, known only as AMH, has won a lawsuit he began after his mother learned of his real father's death.

She then revealed the shameful truth she had hidden for 50 years - tearing her family apart.

In documents obtained by adelaidenow, Justice Kevin Nicholson says that painful confession, supported by tests showing AMH's genes are different to the brothers he grew up with, prove his paternity.

AMH now stands to inherit the lucrative estate bequeathed to his real father's niece, who had disputed his claims in court.

In the documents, Justice Nicholson says AMH's mother, Mrs H, was a trainee nurse in the 1950s.

It was then she met his true father, Mr M.

"Mr M was a member of the Rosicrucian society and he would often attend her house with Rosicrucian books," he says.

Rosicrusianism is a secret society believed to have been founded in medieval Germany.

Its teachings embrace philosophy and mysticism to promote global spiritual enlightenment.

Although they were both married, Mr M and Mrs H began a sexual relationship in 1967.

They would meet for sex once a week at lunchtime - Justice Nicholson says AMH was conceived during one of those trysts.

"Mrs H's memory of this was vivid because the timing caused her to feel extremely ashamed," he says.

"It was two days after her wedding anniversary and one day prior to her husband's birthday.

"She felt terrible shame in having engaged in an extra-marital affair... and particularly so given that she fell pregnant."

He says Mrs H's "introverted, largely platonic" husband never doubted AMH was his child.

Mr M, however, knew the truth.

"He never denied it... indeed he was very happy and said he was proud to have a son," he says.

Mr M's wife filed for divorce in the early 1970s, naming Mrs H as his mistress.

Mrs H swore a false affidavit insisting there was no relationship.

Justice Nicholson says Mr M and Mrs H last saw each other in 1974.

"He asked her to leave her family and run off with him," he says.

"Mrs H refused and told him that he should go back to Mrs M... she never saw him again."

Mrs H and her unwitting husband raised AMH with their children - two sons and a daughter - until his death in 1994.

Mr M died interstate in 2009 without having had other children.

Under the terms of his will, his niece was appointed administrator of his estate.

Mrs H learned of Mr M's passing by reading a newspaper death notice.

She then told AMH and his half-siblings the truth.

"She decided to do this because she had a terrible feeling of grief and a feeling that she had lost the opportunity to get them back together," Justice Nicholson says.

"She also wondered if Mr M left anything for AMH because he knew he was his son."

AMH subsequently underwent a DNA paternity test - the documents do not indicate whether this was ordered by the court.

It showed AMH's genetic profile was different to that of his brothers.

"This revelation came as a complete shock to AMH," Justice Nicholson says.

"He had never had any previous indication that his mother's husband was not his father.

"As a result of this, Mrs H experienced some problems in her family... her daughter thought it was something terrible and never got over it."

The case went to court because Mr M's niece disputed AMH's claim.

However, she said she would concede the estate if a court declared him to be Mr M's son.

In his final ruling, Justice Nicholson says AMH is entitled to his birth father's estate, and orders the niece to surrender it.

He also pays tribute to Mrs H's courage.

"I have little doubt at all that, as time passed, Mrs H became more and more anxious and ashamed about the affair," he said.
