Facts Jerry Mohr was married for 2. But, while he was married, he 1 intentionally had intercourse with another woman for the purpose of having a child and 2 lived with yet another woman and helped raise her child. While Jerry lived in Arizona, he died owning some property in Iowa. And, of course, he apparently didnt feel the need to have a will. Duh. So when the end came for Jerry, he left behind quite the legal mess. Following his death, the biological relationship was conclusively established in Arizona between Jerry and the son that he had with the woman he had one relationship with for that purpose. You know, that DNA testing that gives you a nearly 1. You know, a court ruling by a court and that whole full faith and credit clause of the US Constitution. Iowas intestate laws provide that if someone doesnt have a will, and they die with a spouse and children that are not children of that surviving spouse, the spouse and the children will divide the estate. Probably need to update the intestate law summary for this blog. In particular, Iowa Code 6. Seems simple enough. Code says if there is paternity evidence or recognition, and since we have DNA evidence, end of story. Gue Pequeno Business here. Not so fast my friend. Although pretty much every person 5 years of age or older knows what or means, our court feels that they cant give a plain English interpretation of or. What the Iowa Court of Appeals basically said was while we think we know what or means, because the Iowa Supreme Court says that or doesnt mean or in these circumstances, we are stuck with that ridiculous position. What Keeping in mind that this statute was originally written decades ago before we knew what DNA was or what we can do with DNA, and realizing that once statutes are written, it is a slow and difficult process to amend a statute, the court still maintained that the legislature needs to amend the statute to prevent our Supreme Courts ridiculous ruling from over a hundred years ago. Another reason why judges and lawyers get a bad rap, should anyone care to read this probate case. Now, in all fairness, the Court eventually comes around and determines that the son is actually Jerrys son, but it does so via an awkward, backdoor analysis that contorts itself to fit on the page it was written. Maybe they felt they were constrained by ancient rulings and couldnt establishcorrect the proper rationale, so they wanted to get the right result in another method. Basically they relied on the testimony of the mother of the child and her basically self serving statements that Jerry recognized their child as his son. Never mind that we have this fantastic DNA evidence that can conclusively establish that it was his son, were going to follow this testimony of a mother trying to get an inheritance to her son. Good grief. The morale of the story if you have a biological child out there that you want to disinherit, and you dont want to spend a minimal amount of money to have a will written, you can just refuse to recognize that child as in fact your child and, according to Iowa courts, that child will not inherit from you.
