Post-death family feud

Canadian actor, songwriter, game, and talk show anchor Alan Thicke would never have imagined that his death would be the start of a bitter legal war between his family members.

Alan Thicke died on 13^th December 2017. His two eldest sons, former voice-over actor Brennan Thicke and Robin Thicke (musician) have filed a case in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against their father’s widow and third wife, Bolivian model, and actress Tanya Callau for not respecting the Trust and prenuptial agreement she had made before her marriage to Alan Thicke.

Their lawyer, Alex Weingarten said:

“We have been working on this since very shortly after Alan’s death, when we started getting claims that ‘The prenup’s not valid, he promised X, Y and Z. ‘“

As per the prenuptial agreement, each of Alan Thicke’s children gets a share in his 11-acre (4.5 ha) ranch in Carpinteria, California, 75% of his personal effects, and 60% of his estate, while Tanya Callau was granted all of the ranch furnishings, 25% of his personal effects and 40% of his estate.

She is also entitled to his $ 500000 life insurance policy and benefits from his pensions and union memberships. But Tanya Callau claims that Alan repeatedly promised to leave the ranch to her.

Attempts to settle this turn of events amicably failed and hence Alan Thicke’s sons were forced to take the legal route. They further added that threatened to expose the matter to the tabloids if they did not succumb to her demands.

However, the attorney to Tanya Callau, Adam F. Streisand defended his client and said:

“Tanya Thicke has never threatened to take private family matters public and she never has. It is clear that Alan’s sons have chosen this distasteful public smear tactic to bully Tanya, by stirring up the tabloid media, filing a bogus lawsuit, and refusing family mediation. Tanya is still grieving the death of her beloved husband and out of respect for Alan’s memory intends to handle his son’s false statements privately.”
