Ben Novack's Fortune Probably Goes to Stepdaughter And Her Sons
In 2009, Ben Novack Jr. was brutally killed at the Hilton Rye Town. Narcy Novack, his wife, was convicted of orchestrating the slaying in addition to killing his mother. Now May Abad, Narcy's daughter, stands to inherit $150,000, and the rest of the fortune stands to go to her two sons.
Abad would get her $150,000 in a lump sum, and two trust funds would be set up for her sons. The administrator of the estate, Douglas Hoffman and a trustee from Bank of America would decide how the money is paid out and the assets are dispersed.
Narcy Novack was the primary heir in her husband's will, but she is likely to be disqualified from inheriting the estate because of Florida's slayer statute which prohibits someone who caused the death of an individual from benefitting off of the death.
Ben Novack's relatives are still trying to stake their own claims in the fortune that Ben acquired by forming Convention Concepts Unlimited, a company that sponsored Amway conventions. Earlier attempts by Ben Novack's relatives to nullify the existing will have failed, and it is likely that abad and her children will end up inheriting the estate. Their main strategy is to have the will nullified under the theory that Narcy Novack coerced her husband to include her daughter and grandsons in the will, threatening to publicly reveal her husband's fetish for amputee porn and other details about his sexual proclivities.

Mae Abad should get the most. Along with her two sons. Good for her.

Abad shouldn't profit from her mother's sins,maybe her mother set it up so that if she got caught her daughter would inherit the fortune of her murdered stepfather

May is a beautiful soul. How heartbreaking it must have been to know your mother wanted you dead. May knew something was fishy with her mom asking them to hold off on any payouts after her dads death not knowing she was even in the will. That's love and loyalty. We need more May's. Every cloud has a silver lining and that is May. I wish her happiness, healing, and love. She is a true and loyal person. Everything her mother IS NOT!
