Richard Thornton is challenging the validity of Hemsley’s will, which names the actor’s longtime manager, Flora Enchinton of El Paso, as sole beneficiary. Hemsley died of lung cancer July 24.
Judge Patricia Chew on Monday rescheduled the El Paso trial on Hemsley’s estate to begin Oct. 31.
Thornton, of Philadelphia, sought the DNA testing and must provide results by Oct. 15. Hemsley was born in Philadelphia but had lived in El Paso for the past 20 years.
Court documents indicate Hemsley’s estate is worth more than $50,000.
LMAO! Dude squabbling over $50,000?
This guy is pathetic. Sherman Hemsley stated years ago that he was an only child. Don’t know where this guy popped up from. Also, 50k is all that Sherman had??? What happened to the residuals from his hit shows like ‘The Jeffersons’ and ‘Amen’?
I thought the same damn thing, smh
Sherman Hemsley had tax problems with the IRS and also had to repay a $1 million loan from some type of Las Vegas investment. He should have had a financial consultant managing his money.
The LARGER story is that AFTER TWO MONTHS, SHERMAN HEMSLEY REMAINS REFRIGERATED AND UNBURIED.
Remember Grace, they had James Brown refrigerated and on tour for a couple of months before they buried him. Where was this “brother” before Sherman died? They come out of the woodwork when money is involved.
