Listen Later

Sir Stirling Moss was a national hero - but the real race began after his death. It's a tale that wouldn't look out of place in Bridgerton, Downton Abbey or even in Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentlemen'.

£27.8M. A mother, a son, and a High Court battle. Who really deserves the inheritance?

This is the real-life drama of Britain’s legendary racing driver, and the inheritance fight that erupted after his widow, Lady Susie Moss, passed away in 2023.

In this episode of Money Crimes & Human Minds, we explore:

  • How Sir Stirling Moss originally planned to leave 75% of his estate to his son Elliot and 25% to his daughter Allison.

  • Lady Susie’s final Will that created a discretionary trust that left Elliot without guaranteed access to the family fortune.

  • Allegations of undue influence and fraudulent calumny involving family friends and trustees.

  • The emotional and legal complexities of discretionary trusts in the UK.

  • Expert insights into human behavior, grief, and family dynamics under pressure.


Join us as we break down the legal, psychological, and human drama behind this extraordinary inheritance battle.
