Woman rejected by mother in will wins £164k inheritance
It appears that a judge has ruled that a 54 year old woman that fell out with her (now deceased) mother when she was 17 is able to claim a third of her estate even though the mother made a will leaving it all to charity.
On the face of it this appears to make a mockery of the concept of leaving a will and would seem to open up yet another load of dubious legal practice. PPI, had an accident, not happy with your parent's will?
