A “parasite” son has been ordered out of his home and handed a £265,000 bill after losing an inheritance battle with his siblings.
Robert Chung, 62, claimed he was promised that he would inherit his parents’ three-bedroom home because he moved back in while he was in his 30s to care for them in their old age.
His father, Victor, died in 1998 and his mother, Irene, in 2016, but because she had no will, her £600,000 estate was to be split equally between Robert and his siblings, Marina Bennett, an accountant, and Richard Chung, an IT boss.
Mr Chung sued to claim the entire house, which the court heard would have left “no significant assets” to share with his siblings.
They fought back, calling him a “parasite” and “financial drain” on their parents, and claiming that he lounged around “watching movies non-stop” while his mother cooked and cleaned.
