hi
i wonder if anyone can share what happens when someone dies intestate (actual as oposed to what should happen)
My DSD passed away recently. He made a will and then married my mother. He was told by the solicitor that if he got married then the will would not stand unless he put a certain clause in (which he refused to do)
The will left part of a property to one of his children, to be given on the passing of my mother.
His children hate my mother, and she hates them back (he knew this)
As he got married, he basically died instestate, so what happens? The entire estate is under 250k.
Can the children (in their 50s and very financially secure) challenge this?
