Overview

• Alain-Fabien Delon has lodged a civil action in Paris seeking to annul a November 2022 amendment, arguing his father lacked testamentary capacity at the time.
• The contested change reportedly made Anouchka the sole heir to rights in films such as The Leopard and gave her 51% of the company holding Delon’s image and brand rights.
• French authorities had placed Alain Delon under court-ordered guardianship after multiple strokes late in his life, a circumstance cited by the plaintiff.
• The suit names siblings Anouchka and Anthony as well as three executors as defendants, while executor-lawyer Christophe Ayela says dialogue toward a mediated resolution continues.
• A first hearing is reported for March 2026, and Alain-Fabien also seeks to unwind a February 2023 gift to Anouchka tied to the rights-holding company, according to Le Monde.
