Overview
- Heino, in a Sunday Bild interview, said he cut ties with son Uwe and made manager Helmut Werner his heir after moving assets during his lifetime.
- He said he left Uwe off the March 13 Kitzbühel premiere of his RTL+ documentary and claimed his son has not called since wife Hannelore’s 2023 funeral.
- Uwe’s wife, Vera Kramm, disputed that version, saying the family was frequently excluded from milestones and that Uwe wanted acceptance rather than money.
- Manager Helmut Werner denied fueling the split and said he pressed Heino to invite Uwe to Hannelore’s funeral, arguing the relationship was already broken.
- Under German inheritance law, close heirs usually keep a compulsory share, so Uwe could still claim a minimum portion even if cut from the will.
