Veltins Inheritance Case Ends After Son Lets Appeal Deadline Pass

The refusal of legal aid reduced his options to a self-funded appeal he ultimately did not pursue.

Overview

  • The Arnsberg Regional Court’s June judgment upholding the mother’s 1994 will now remains in force.
  • Judges rejected Carl Clemens Veltins’s application for legal aid in early November for lack of prospects of success.
  • The lower court assessed the value of the disputed estate at roughly €30 million.
