Court rules on Foglar legacy

A Prague court has ruled on the legacy of Jaroslav Foglar, a famous Czech novelist who wrote adventure stories for children. Foglar left his entire estate, estimated to be worth around 10 million crowns (over 600,000 US dollars) to the Jaroslav Foglar Foundation. His will was contested by his nephew Petr Foglar, who said that his ninety-three-year-old uncle had been coerced into leaving his entire property to the fund, and being half blind in the years preceding his death he could not have known what he was signing. The court ruled on Wednesday, that Foglar’s last will is valid and that he had been fully aware of who he was leaving his money to.
