Meanwhile, Squerciati finds herself in some legal drama stemming from an inheritance she claims she was "promised" but was not included in the will. It turns out her father, John R. Jakobson, passed away in 2017 at the age of 86. Jakobson was her father after a year-long affair with her mother. She claims him to be her father and added that he told her mother that Squerciati would get "a big surprise" in his will back in 1981.

The will, though, included all of his children but not Squerciati. His wife, Joan Jakobson, is calling her bluff, saying her husband did not know of Squerciati until the issue of the will came up. Utilizing the New York's "dead man statute," one of the Jakobson son's is seeking to block Squerciati from testifying in regards to the promise she claims she was made.

The "dead man statute" was created to protect a person's estate from any false claims of the living. In addition, estate lawyers are refusing to acknowledge the actress has one of Jakobson's children.

Since news first broke about the situation Squerciati is facing, there haven't been any further details provided as to what the next step in this ordeal will be. Considering all of the intricacies involved in this case, there will sure be some time lapsed before any conclusion is reached.

Chicago P.D. airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.
