US EditionFarmer giving away fortune to secure ‘seat in heaven’ has guardian appointed by High Court
COUNTY DUBLIN, IRELAND, AUG 1 – The High Court intervened after a farmer gave €350,000 to homeless people, with his bank accounts now showing an overdraft of €65,000, officials said.
- The High Court has assigned a guardian to act in the interests of a farmer who has donated £350,000 to homeless and impoverished individuals.
- The appointment followed evidence that the farmer, in his 40s, claimed God told him to give away his money to secure a seat in heaven.
- The farmer sold his farm for approximately £600,000 and by early May, his combined bank balances had decreased from £288,000 to £250,000 following donations totaling around £38,000 over a few weeks.
- Solicitor Katherine Kelleher told the court she received a call revealing an overdraft of £65,000 in one account and described his bank balances as "literally haemorrhaging cash."
- The court ordered the banks to permit inquiries into his accounts and allowed the guardian to take all necessary steps, with proceedings returning in early September.
