Joy Culverhouse didn't want her children to get a penny of her estate, court motion says

Even in her 90s, Joy Culverhouse was a woman of “strong will’’ who made one thing perfectly clear — she didn’t want her children to inherit any of her millions.

That’s the latest claim in the battle over the estate of the widow of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Hugh Culverhouse Sr.

In a motion filed this week in Hillsborough County probate court, representatives of the estate are trying to quash attempts by Hugh Culverhouse Jr. and his sister, Gay Culverhouse, to revoke their mother’s will and a multi-million dollar trust. The siblings don’t have legal standing to challenge the will, the motion says, because Culverhouse disinherited them long ago.
