A social worker inherited one of the wealthiest estates in Britain after DNA analysis confirmed that he was the illegitimate son of an aristocrat who owned the estate. 31-year-old Jordan Adlard Rogers from Helston in Cornwall moved to the luxurious Penrose National Trust mansion with an area of 620 hectares, which is estimated at 50 million pounds (more than 4 billion rubles). This event in the life of a young man happened after the death of 62-year-old Charles Rogers.
Heir to the aristocratic family
The social worker had suspicions that the aristocrat was his father. He had been thinking about this since he was eight years old. But the DNA test was not performed until Charles died. This happened last year.
His father offered to take a DNA test when the guy was younger. But this did not happen at that time. And when Jordan was 18 years old and he turned to Charles, he was told that all issues would be resolved only through a lawyer.

But when Charles was found dead in his car on the estate in August 2018 at the age of 62, a study was finally conducted that confirmed their relationship. And since the mother of this aristocrat died within two weeks after the death of his son and his brother from cancer, Jordan remained the heir to the magnificent estate.
Luxury mansion
The Rogers family has been living for generations on the stretch between Helston and Portleven in Cornwall. In 1974, they transferred it to the National Trust in exchange for a 1000-year lease, which allowed the family to continue living there.
Jordan, who has now left his previous job to live on property income, said he cannot believe how much his life has changed since the DNA test showed a positive result.
The guy said: “He offered to do a DNA test when I was younger, but that didn’t happen, and then when I was 18 I turned to my father and asked if I could take the test. He told me to do this, so I "I turned to his lawyers. I was 18 years old, so I had different priorities. At the age of more than twenty years I wrote more letters, but I didn’t receive a response, then three years ago I contacted the company of Philip Cara."

Father's refusal to do a test
"The lawyer said that Charles did not want to do the test, so I wrote one final letter with the attached DNA analysis kit. And then Philip called me and said that Charles was dead, " Jordan notes.
He said that he had to deal with some obstacles from other family members. But he was finally able to pass the test, and Charles was recognized as his father.
He added: “I have now received the right to inherit. People say that I was lucky, but I would exchange all my property for the opportunity to go back and do everything so that Charles would know that I was his son. Maybe then he could go the other way. I don’t have to work anymore, so I want to create a charity and help the Portleven and Helston communities. I was worried about the court decision. I had a difficult start to life, but now I'm here. But I will not forget where I came from."
Investigation
Last week, the investigation found out how Charles had struggled with drug abuse for many years and died of an overdose in his car near his own rural house, listed on the II degree list of historical estates.
An investigation in Truro found out that there were no suspicious circumstances. Charles has taken too much of a prescription drug.
According to investigators, he was malnourished, neglected personal hygiene, and rarely changed clothes for the whole months that preceded his death. Instead of living in his luxurious home, Charles slept in his car.

Property owner income
The coroner was told that the life tenant of the estate receives income from the trust, and Charles was accrued cash benefits in the amount of 300 to 1, 000 pounds (more than 80 thousand rubles) per week.
The estate receives money from investing in stocks and renting out several plots of land to local farmers. Jordan's plans also apply to holding a charity garden party in his new home.
Jordan, who is strikingly similar to his father, said he decided to speak out to give a more complete picture of his father's life before his death. He said: “I have not been here for a long time and do not know all the nuances, but I was able to figure out some parts of this story. Charles never lived on the estate. He chose one of the manor estates for this, since his mother lived here. Therefore, he did not have the opportunity to inherit it. It came to the point that he was disappointed in himself and lived in his car, and not in the house. The Rogers family gave the National Trust 46 cottages and a couple of farms, and now this family’s family fund brings income to a lifelong tenant.
Jordan and his wife, Katie, recently had a son. Therefore, such a change greatly facilitated the life of a married couple.
