Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, father of singer and reality TV star Brooke Hogan, is locked in a bitter legal battle over the estate of his late brother, Eddie Bollea. The dispute centres around a Florida property that Hulk claims was promised to him by his brother before his passing.
The Heart of the Dispute
According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, Eddie Bollea passed away in 2020, leaving behind an estate that includes a modest home in Florida. Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, asserts that his brother had verbally agreed to leave him the property as thanks for years of financial support.
Family Tensions Surface
The case has brought to light longstanding family tensions, with other relatives contesting Hulk's claims. "This isn't about money," a source close to the family revealed. "It's about what Eddie would have wanted, and different family members have different interpretations of that."
Legal Complications
Without a written will, the estate has become subject to Florida's intestacy laws, which typically distribute assets among surviving relatives. Hulk's legal team is arguing for an exception based on the alleged verbal agreement and his financial contributions to his brother's care.
Legal experts suggest this could become a protracted case. "Verbal agreements are notoriously difficult to prove in court," said probate attorney Mark Johnson, who is not involved in the case. "Without concrete evidence, these cases often come down to witness testimony and credibility."
Brooke Hogan's Role
While Brooke Hogan hasn't publicly commented on the matter, sources indicate she's been supporting her father through the legal process. The case continues to unfold as both sides prepare their arguments for the Florida courts.
