The estate of Mary Margaret Wenzel Crandall has filed a lawsuit alleging Cody Anderson conspired to obtain the 88-year-multimillion-dollar old’s estate.
Crandall was diagnosed with dementia in 2018. A new will was signed in 2020, appointing Cody Anderson as the estate’s representative and Bateman as the estate’s only beneficiary.
According to the lawsuit, Crandall allegedly met with Anderson, the current owner of the funeral company, and Bateman, the previous director of the funeral house, in 2012 to seek help with her husband’s funeral.
Who Is Cody Anderson From Aiken SC?
Cody Anderson, 35, has lived in Bath, South Carolina, his entire life and is running for politics for the first time. He’s running as a Republican, which has held the seat since previous Representative J. Roland Smith moved from Democrat to Republican in 1993.
He is the owner of an Aiken funeral company and is the first to declare his candidacy for state House District 84, which has been vacant since Rep. Ronnie Young died last week.
Anderson said Smith, who he’s known his entire life, and Young, with whom he worked closely on the Horse Creek Midland Valley Veterans Park project as a committee member, motivated him to run.
