Roxeanne Hazes would have preferred to keep it a secret from the media, but by now we all know: today she and her mother Rachel are facing each other in court. Roxeanne Hazes has filed summary proceedings against her mother for the inheritance of André Hazes senior. Almost twenty years after his death, what is there disagreement about?
Efforts have been made for months to work it out without judicial intervention, Roxeanne Hazes spokesman Bernard Tomlow told RTL Boulevard. “Behind the scenes, outside the media and without legal proceedings, attempts have been made to clarify a number of relevant matters.”
appeared in January Private a story about the Hazes family. The weekly magazine alleged then that Rachel Hazes is mentioned in the will of the folk singer, but that a special clause has been included. Namely that she would not inherit anything if she had divorced André senior or if the procedure for this had been started.
And the latter is according to Private the case. Rachel Hazes would have started divorce proceedings before the death of her partner, which was never followed through. The widow has been deliberately concealing for years that she is not the heir of the folk singer at all. Only his children, Roxeanne and André junior, are entitled to the inheritance. Nothing will change for André’s two oldest children (Melvin and Nathalie, whom he had with his two ex-wives). They have already had their share of the inheritance.
The lawyers of Rachel Hazes, Royce de Vries and Annemiek van Spanje, have to RTL Boulevard let them know that none of the stories are true Private. But the lawsuit is about the inheritance. An interesting detail in the case is that it was not only brought by Roxeanne. The person who was senior administrator after the death of Hazes also participates. This person was appointed to make decisions about the inheritance, according to the wishes of Hazes senior.
André Hazes junior called the case painful
André junior is not involved in the lawsuit. He made this known at the table in January a woman. “I’m out there, I have nothing to do with it. It’s something between them. It’s painful that it’s like this in our family,” the singer said at the talk show table.
Roxeanne Hazes would have preferred to keep this case out of the media. But a step to court was inevitable, according to her spokesman. “Unfortunately, given the investigations that have been made, there is nothing left but for the judge to make the decision, no matter how much effort has been made to prevent this,” said Tomlow.
Rachel Hazes is willing to answer all her daughter’s questions, her lawyers said. They argue that Roxeanne is the one who rejected that offer without clear reason and decided to start summary proceedings.
Further details about the case are not known. Both Roxeanne’s lawyer and Rachel’s lawyer do not want to comment substantively on the case.
