The rest after the ad
Famous lyricist, Jean-Loup Dabadie, to whom we owe many of the great classics of French songdied of heart failure at the age of 81 in 2020. During his life, he gave birth to three children. First of all there was Clémentine, his eldest daughter, as well as Clément and Florent, his two sons. However, Jean-Loup Dabadie had an unpleasant surprise in store for them in his will. In fact, he left the entire usufruct of his property and his rights to his last wife, Véronique Bachet, with whom he married in 1997. This news was a shock for the lyricist's childrenas Clémentine indicated in the show It starts todaybroadcast on Wednesday December 4, 2024 on France 2.
“We were in the middle of Covid and the traditional scene of opening the will at a notary, we did not experience that. Because we received the holographic will in its beautiful handwriting one evening on our computer screens“, first indicated the eldest daughter of Jean-Loup Dabadie. Before specifying that her brothers “live abroad“. “My brother Clément lives in Los Angeles and Florent in Tokyo“, she emphasized. “We received this will by email at the same time. And there, it was extremely violent because our father did not speak to us. We weren't even mentioned, cited in this will where he protected our mother-in-law. And where he actually gave her the usufruct of all his property“, she then added. Concretely, this means that Véronique Bachet currently has the enjoyment of all of Jean-Loup Dabadie's property. The lyricist's children will only be able to inherit it after the death of their mother-in-law.
Jean-Loup Dabadie: his daughter Clémentine believes she was disinherited by her father
“Where the law is poorly made is when the surviving spouse is practically the same age as the heir children. Which is the case“, Clementine clarified in particular. “It's completely normal for a husband to protect his wife. I know that in the past the surviving spouse was poorly protected and things have improved, but at this point“, she also wanted to emphasize. “As in all stories of successions that go wrong, these are stories of betrayed love. So, when we hit a will like that in the face, we say to ourselves: 'But did he love us?'. We don't understand, it's a shock. (…) Very concretely, he disinherited us. So you're going to tell me that you can't disinherit your children. But in concrete terms, this was the case since we had three quarters of bare ownership, but my mother-in-law had the usufruct of all her property.“, finally concluded the daughter of Jean-Loup Dabadie.
