A surgeon who inherited his colleague's entire £10m fortune after marrying her days before her death has been taken to court by her sister after she was left with nothing.
Dr Kalodiki's sister, Maria Karamanoli, has launched a bid to resurrect the will, under which she gets a sixth, in a High Court battle. Dr Lattimer, who has since remarried, is also a respected consultant vascular surgeon and a senior lecturer at Imperial College, as well as the author of numerous scientific papers.
"On 27 December 2018, the claimant drove the testator back to the hospice. His evidence is that on the drive back, she looked terrible, and he became concerned that her time was short." Dedicating the terms, she told Lattimer him that a sixth share for him was "about right because you were with me for a decade."
Mrs Karamanoli is claiming to "rectify" the December 27 will in order for her sister's fortune to be divided up as she had wanted when she wrote it.
