WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that there has been a settlement in the case over Chris Benoit’s estate.
The Benoit family (Chris Benoit’s father and Chris Benoit’s two surviving children) and the Toffoloni family (Nancy Benoit’s family) have reached a verbal agreement. The estate will be divided equally in half.
Many legal experts had predicted that the case would go poorly for the Toffoloni. They really didn’t have that much of a chance on winning.
From all accounts, the Toffoloni family comes off looking pretty bad in this entire thing. Michael Benoit was willing to split the money evenly from the start. He even talked about having to spend $600,000 in legal fees to come to a decision that could have already been made months ago.
