WHO'S YOUR DEAD DADDY?

February 28, 2008

Joel Schoenmeyer shows that the life of an estate attorney isn't all wills and trusts:

I recently had a case that involved DNA testing. My client asked me to help her prove that she was the child of a recently-deceased man (who never married my client's mother). After a lot of fits and starts, we were successful.

I was able to locate DNA of the decedent by contacting various hospitals, one of which had retained a tissue sample for the decedent from about 20 years prior to his death.

And he almost got away with it, the cad.
