Red Flags in the Situation

Physical Abuse History: The prior history of abuse already suggests a pattern of control or harm. Coupled with subsequent actions, this may indicate a continuation of harmful intent, even posthumously.

Compiling a Dossier: Gathering information about you, especially after abusive behavior, could indicate an attempt to manipulate, blackmail, or tarnish your reputation. It’s critical to consider the nature of the data they collected.

Sudden Changes in the Will: If someone changes their will abruptly, especially after a fraught relationship or conflict, it could signify spiteful intent. They may have altered inheritance plans to cause financial harm or drama after their death.

Device and Data Erasure: Cleaning their PC and changing their phone shortly before passing away could indicate an attempt to conceal evidence, whether of wrongdoing or intentions regarding you.
