The document saw her excluded from any inheritance proceedings Laura Smet announced she was contesting her father's American will in 2018.
However, Laeticia's lawyers announced last Friday, 3rd July, that a 'definitive agreement' had been reached between Hallyday and her late husband's children, a journalist for French TV channel M6 reported on Twitter. The will had been drafted in the US, where Hallyday was then living with Laeticia and their two adopted daughters, and did not comply with French law, where children have automatic succession rights.Ī bitter legal battle ensued, with Laeticia provking further outrage last year by announcing plans to have the singer exhumed and placed in her family vault - a move that saw her branded the 'wicked stepmother' by French magazines. This sum was later revised down to €38 million, after it was found that the value of his proerties and royalties had been overestimated. The singer's eldest children decided to contest his will, which left his entire estate - originally esimated at €100 million - to Laeticia, excluding his son David Hallyday, 53, and daughter Laura Smet, 36.
Laeticia Hallyday, 45, the widow of the 'French Elvis' who died in December 2017 from lung cancer, aged 74, has inherited the singer's properties, to the estimated value of €28 to €34 million, and an undisclosed amount in cash. After a bitter legal battle of more than two years, the question of Johnny Hallyday's inheritance has finally been resolved.
