Self-made millionaire Reg Bond turned £350 into a fortune based on a rubber tyre empire before turning his hand to racehorse training and breeding - but now his four children are in dispute over his money.
Four siblings are battling in court over money left by tycoon father Reg Bond. The businessman's lawyerA self-confessed 'daddy's girl' daughter is fighting in court after being left 'dumfounded' when cut out of her tycoon father's millions in a 'secret' will.
Charlie's glamorous solicitor wife Kate Atkinson-Bond yesterday insisted she had no doubts about her millionaire father-in-law’s mental capacity when he left her husband and his brother £5.8million. They claim that there was a rift between Reg and Lindsay in his final months, accusing their sister of being 'penny pinching' and 'undermining Reg's independence'.
He went on to produce a string of winners from his stud farm at Yapham Mill, in Pocklington, including Monsieur Bond who won the coveted Duke of York Stakes in 2004. But in 2019, two years before his death, he made a final will, handing his remaining £11million shareholding in the company to Charlie and Greg alone.
Their barrister Penelope Reed told Mr Justice Michael Green that, as well as the brain tumour, Mr Bond suffered from a fall in his garden in 2014 which led to pneumonia and other serious complications, leaving him needing 'full-time care'.'There is a real suspicion that what ended up in the final will did not represent his testamentary wishes. There's some considerable doubt about how well the will summary was gone through with Reg.'We don't plead fraud or conspiracy.
'Lindsay and Mike began to suspect that they were deliberately being kept at arms' length from Reg by Charlie and the carers. 'The disputed documents were deliberately kept secret from Mike and Lindsay, in addition to numerous other arrangements,' said the barrister. She said: 'He had an active social life, was out and about, had bought a Bentley and wanted to get his driving licence back.'
She said: 'The documentary evidence suggests he knew he was signing a will and he knew what was in it.
