Controversy surrounding the legacy
Stieg Larsson spent 32 years of his life with the architect Eva Gabrielsson. However, the never married, maybe due to Stieg's dangerous work at the Expo-foundation. They did not have any children, and Stieg left no written will, so according to Swedish law, Stieg's estate was inherited by his father and brother. This sparked a dispute between Eva Gabrielsson and Stieg's relatives. She claims that they "were never a part of our lives" and that they are not the right persons handling Stieg's estate.
A fact complicating the matter is that Eva has the laptop with the partly finished script for the fourth book in the Millenium series. And she will not publish the script unless she is given the full rights to manage the novels in the Millenium series, the novels which she and Stieg worked with together. However, Stieg's father and brother has not been willing to meet this amend, and this has resulted in a stalemate which has lasted the five years since Stieg's death.
The most recent event took place when Stieg's father and brother in an interview with a newspaper offered Eva a final settlement of € 2 million. She rejected the offer, saying that it is not the money she is after, but the legal rights to administrate the literary property of Stieg.
So the stalemate continues, and the final words have not been said.
can you GO tonight... if you know what i mean :)

This stalemate is completely ridiculous. Eva should get the rights to Steig's estate. If his father and brother had nothing to do with him, then their greed is completely withholding the progression of a great legacy.

Ditto ditto dditto all the comments about these great books.
Also Write a Will!! (I haven't - stupid me)
and Get Married! There are all sorts of ways where cohabiting couples are very vulnerable financially. Also, if one partner is in hospital and unable to say what he/she wants. other family members are able to stop you visiting, have a say in funeral arrangements etc. etc. Living together is NOT the same legally as being married.

Wouldn't it be nive if we all could "get married"?

I find it very strange that Stieg Larsson didn't have a will. And to think that a country so forward thinking as Sweden is so backwards in it's laws regarding women. Thank god for Canadian Laws.
Who is going to write the book about "the death of Stieg Larsson"?
The amount of money that was made from the first three books was over the top, someone will write
it and I'm a rotten write. Come Eva start writing.
Who was the person that did the translation for the first two books, great job.
I had a stroke five years ago so I can reread the books very six months or so. What a great plus.

I hate Stieg's brother and father. Why don't they just let Eva publish the book? We want to keep reading about Mikael and Lisbeth... I finished the 3rd today, and I REALLY want to know what's next. I just love those characters too much.
