London doula wins £5m will fight after court exposes late husband’s property ‘sham’
Gabriela Teixeira has won a High Court battle over her late husband's £5 million estate. Her husband, Abbas Moaven, had signed documents shortly before his death that claimed his properties were shared with his family, which jeopardized her inheritance. The court ruled that these documents were a 'sham,' allowing Teixeira and her children to inherit the full value of the estate.
- ▪Gabriela Teixeira is a birth doula and yoga teacher who married property investor Abbas Moaven in 2002.
- ▪After Moaven's death in 2012, Teixeira discovered that his estate was potentially worthless due to documents he signed that diminished her inheritance.
- ▪Teixeira challenged her brother-in-law in court, claiming the documents were a 'sham' and aimed to restore the properties to the estate.
