Overview
- Alain‑Fabien Delon has filed a civil suit in Paris to annul a 2022 testament amendment and to undo a February 2023 gift, naming his siblings and the executors as defendants.
- The contested changes favored Anouchka Delon, including sole heir status to rights linked to the film The Leopard and 51% of the company managing her father's image rights.
- The challenge cites medical records and notes Delon’s decline after strokes and court‑ordered legal care to argue insufficient testamentary capacity.
- A first hearing is slated for March 2026, with outlets reporting differing dates of March 6 or March 9.
- Estate executors say they hope continued dialogue can yield a resolution even as the dispute moves toward trial.
