To not understand how the pre appeal court granted Melita Jackson's daughter over 150k

[2rebecca]

This is the case of Melita Jackson who died leaving nearly 500k to charities and nothing to her daughter who she hadn't spoken to much since she was 17 when she took up with a man she disapproved of. The daughter never seems to have worked and had 5 children with the man who was on a low income.
I don't understand how a woman in her 50s capable of working if she chose could get her mum's money contrary to the will.
I get on well with my dad but if he chose to leave his money to charity I would see that as his choice unless I suspected coercion.
I think only dependent children should be entitled to money.

The dad died in an industrial accident before Melita was born. I think he's allowed to be passive in those circumstances.

However spiteful, I think it was her money and should have been left where she willed it.
