The inheritance trial of the late Mexican actress Mariana Levy has been an ongoing legal battle for 18 years, and despite some progress, there is still a long way to go, according to her youngest son, José Emilio Levy. In an interview with ‘Ventaneando’ on July 11th, José Emilio expressed his frustration and disappointment with the slow process.
“When I turned 18, I thought I would receive my inheritance and be able to live my life. But apparently, there is still a lot of time left,” he said.
The trial is currently in its third stage, the adjudication phase, after the recognition of heirs and assets has been resolved. However, the final phase, the distribution of the inheritance, has yet to be completed.
José Emilio also accused his older sister, María, of obstructing the process to prevent them from receiving their fair share. He revealed that María’s lawyer has been filing unnecessary paperwork, such as appeals and requests for protection, which has caused friction between them.
One of the key issues in the trial is the distribution of assets, including the sale of Mariana’s house in Mexico City’s exclusive Bosque de las Lomas neighborhood. José Emilio disclosed that only one property remains, which has a maintenance debt of over $70,275. However, the sale has been delayed due to the outstanding debt left by their father, José María Fernández ‘Pirru’.
José Emilio revealed that he went to court and discovered that his father had an eviction and arrest order issued by a judge. While the house has been evicted, José Emilio tried to reach an agreement with his father to give him the right to use the property in exchange for paying maintenance. However, his father declined and left.
Furthermore, José Emilio shed light on the tense situation regarding the insurance left by their mother. Legally, the money belongs to María, but he believes that morally it should be shared among the three siblings. He expressed hope that María would consider their circumstances and choose to share the funds with them in the future.
The inheritance trial has taken a toll on José Emilio’s life. He currently sells food, including basket tacos and chilaquiles, to make ends meet. Even after his father took away all the furniture from their house, the support from friends’ mothers helped him with food and donated some furniture and crockery.
However, José Emilio remains optimistic that the recent passing of his grandmother, Talina Fernández, will unite the family and put an end to the fighting caused by the inheritance issues. Despite the difficulties he has faced, he emphasized that the focus should not be on money but on healing and rebuilding their relationships as a family.
The 18th anniversary of Mariana Levy’s death on April 29, 2023, will mark a significant milestone in their journey to finally resolve the inheritance trial.
