a woman has just won her appeal and had her parents will changed , they had left 2 million to rspca , she contested and won the cash, i think this is so wrong , what gives ppl the right to over rule someones will

If your ageing relative had always promised that they would ”look after you” in their will and then left the lot to the cat’s home, chances are that you’d be slightly miffed.
Or how about the elderly male or female close relative who, in the last year or two of their lives, marries a much younger person …… and then changes their will to leave everthing to their recently bereaved (apparently), equally the chances are that the original beneficiaries might feel somewhat cheated eh?
If a person strongly feels that their deceased relative wasn’t fully in possession of their faculties when they made the ‘new’ will, or that they were unduly influenced by another benificiary for pecuniary advantage – then the will can be challenged on grounds of validity.

I think someone could come up with something more morbid surley 8)
9 October, 2009 at 3:18 pm #419059After the experience I had with my sister following my mums death, i’m glad that I have very little to leave (not that she leave a great deal).
It’s more personal possesions, such as the rings I wear. I have three of them, all three are worth quite a lot of money, although some things are worth more than just money. All three will be passed on to my son, to do whatever he wants to do with them, hopefully he’ll also keep them and pass them on to a partner or a daughter if and when he has one. Other than that, I have very little to leave behind, execpt memories :)
