Kassy Sinar, a London cleaning company boss, d+ed of bre@st cancer at 46, leaving her £500,000 estate in trust for her 16-year-old daughter, Jocey. Her boyfriend, Cengiz Arif, tried to claim it by faking a 2023 will and a 2006 Cyprus wedding, even banning her family from her funeral.
Mr Arif had abandoned Ms Sinar on her d+athbed, flying to Cyprus for two weeks. Her brother Ernest, now Jocey’s guardian, sued. High Court judge Chief Master Karen Shuman ruled the will and marriage certificate were “forged,” upholding the 2022 will and ordering Mr Arif to pay £206,000 in costs.
Shuman said: “I’m satisfied on the evidence that I have heard that this was an unhappy, t%xic and ab¥sive relationship. There is evidence of physical and emotional ab¥se.
He further said; “In her last weeks of life, he left her to travel to Cyprus for at least two weeks. She was never married to Cengiz, therefore he has adduced to the court a forged document. Cengiz produced in these proceedings a false document. He was never married to Kassy. I’m satisfied that the marriage certificate is a forged document.”
