Homeless Man Claims To Be Beneficiary Of $100,000 Inheritance

Homeless manRafael Lebron, a homeless man in the upper west side of Manhattan, claims that he is entitled to a $100,000 inheritance from his deceased friend.  According to an affidavit filed earlier this month in Manhattan Surrogates Court Mr. Lebron states that he has been waiting for three years for the $100,000 that he claims his friend Winfield Huppuch left him in his Will.  The decedents brother, Thomas Hubbuch, who has been named the executor of the estate has thus far refused to distributed the $100,000 to Mr. Lebron.  Geoffrey Ward, Thomas Hubbuch’s attorney, stated that the decedent sent him a marked up Will shortly before his death that eliminated Lebron’s inheritance.  Winfield Hubbuch passed away before he could make the revised draft of his new Will official.
