"A Made in Chelsea star is facing an 'astronomical' 2m court bill after losing an inheritance battle over his mother's ex-partner's 38m fortune. Lonan O'Herlihy, known as the 'Posh PT', had sought 5m from the estate of Hugh Taylor, who he regarded as his dad."
"Mr Taylor, a multimillionaire, died in 2019, leaving behind an estate that included classic cars, high-end properties, and a Second World War-era Hawker Hurricane aircraft. Almost all of his wealth was bequeathed to his widow, Jennifer Taylor, under a 2015 will."
"Mr O'Herlihy, 36, whose mother was with Mr Taylor between 1995 and 2003, sued the widow as executor. He claimed that Mr Taylor was a father figure during his childhood and sought reasonable provision from the estate."
Lonan O'Herlihy, a personal trainer known as the 'Posh PT', pursued legal action to claim £5 million from the estate of Hugh Taylor, a multimillionaire who died in 2019. O'Herlihy regarded Taylor as a father figure, having grown up in his Tudor manor house while Taylor was in a relationship with his mother between 1995 and 2003. Taylor's estate, valued at £38 million and including classic cars, properties, and a Second World War aircraft, was largely bequeathed to his widow Jennifer Taylor under a 2015 will. O'Herlihy sought reasonable provision from the estate, arguing he needed the funds to maintain an appropriate standard of living. The High Court ruled against him, and he now faces an 'astronomical' £2 million court bill as a result of losing the inheritance battle.
