Foster child who inherited fortune from millionaire parents set to forfeit £1m mansion

Albi Mera inherited his £1m family home, plus two other London flats worth over £500,000 from millionaire parents but is set to loose it after charity win inheritance court case

A foster child who was left a fortune by his millionaire parents now faces losing his £1m home after losing a court fight with a charity over inheritance.

Albi Mera inherited his £1m family home in Brixton, plus two other London flats worth over £500,000 when his father Stuart Brock died in 2018. Mr Brock also left 30 per cent of his fortune to WaterAid, a charity which provides clean drinking water and sanitation facilities in third world countries.

But Mr Mera’s house, which he has been living in for five years, could now be sold after he was sued by the charity for not paying them their share of the inheritance. In a will made in 2017, Mr Brock passed on 70 per cent of the family’s wealth to Mr Mera. Mr Brock, who was the boss of an engineering company, had initially inherited the entire fortune of his wife Julie Royce when she died in 2015.

Judge, Master Katherine McQuail, was told by the charity’s lawyers, that Mr Mera, as executor and personal representative of his foster dad’s estate, had failed to pay them any money in the last five years, despite numerous requests.
