One Potential Heir: Guardian's Husband Denies Search for More Children

The central dispute over the estate of late Salvadoran singer Julián Figueroa hinges on whether a second child exists. On November 3, his son-in-law Marco Chacón addressed the rumors directly. He stated that the couple does not know of any other descendants, though the possibility is not ruled out.

The speculation began following comments by attorney Alonso Beceiro on October 29. Beceiro noted that Figueroa did not leave a written will. Without a will, the law allows for additional heirs to step forward and claim a share of the inheritance. Beceiro suggested that a search might be necessary to determine if Figueroa had another son who could assert those rights.

Journalist Alex Rodríguez interviewed Chacón for the program Siéntese Quien Pueda. Chacón clarified the legal stance. He explained that if a will were annulled, new heirs could seek participation. However, he emphasized that no specific heir has been identified. Chacón described the prospect of another grandchild for actress Maribel Guardia as wonderful, but he stressed that the couple has no confirmation.

Reporter Lucho Borrego added context during the same broadcast. He noted that the couple has not started a formal investigation to find potential descendants. Borrego said that Chacón denied reports that they were paying for such a search. Many media outlets had claimed the couple was actively looking, but Chacón said that was not the case.

The potential second child would be a half-sibling to José Manuel Figueroa. José Manuel is the half-brother of the late singer. He reacted to the news with optimism. He told Despierta América that finding another brother would be a blessing. He called the idea a beautiful illusion and a way to defy death.

The next step in the process involves determining if any additional children surface. If they do, they may file claims against the estate. If no new heirs appear, the distribution of assets will proceed based on the current known family structure. The legal team will continue to monitor for any new claims as the probate moves forward.
