According to sources, the 102-year-old man surnamed Wang (王) lives in Taipei’s Zhongshan District (中山) and previously worked as a land registration agent. Children of a man surnamed Wang wheel him away from Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taipei on Tuesday. Wang’s descendants filed a civil lawsuit against Lai to annul the marriage and recover assets Wang previously gave to Lai, while requesting a guardianship declaration for Wang. Lai could claim that she shared 27 years of deep affection with Wang to support the validity of their marriage, he said. Should the marriage be considered legal, Lai would be Wang’s recognized spouse in the eyes of the law and would be entitled to NT$10 million or more of the total inheritance, he added.
