Hi all
Looking for some help, I have tried to search online but can't find what I am looking for. ,
Some history, my mother died many years ago leaving 3 siblings. Since the death my gran always spoke about how both her and my grandfathers wills where written to ensure that myself and siblings inherit my mothers share. My gran always spoke about this and was going to give me a copy of the wills as she did not 100% trust her surviving children to do the honest thing, however life got in the way and I never got a copy.
My gran died early 2019, and there was always excuses about the will so I left it for a bit, however my grandfather has recently died and brought this back up. I am now concerned that both the wills wont be followed as one of my mothers siblings is greedy and deceitful, this carried over to her 3 adult children (always feel the world owes them).
To make matters worse this aunt also bought the house over from my grandparents to avoid others getting a share as she seen it as a cheap investment (grandparents took £30k for the house when it was worth approx. £90k, it is now worth another £15-20k)
Few questions:
- Can anyone tell me the legal act/section that the will would have included for myself and siblings to inherit mother share
- If the will is not shared and I feel it is wrong what would I do.
- What happens to items in the house (general household furniture) is this anyone's for the choosing or should it be split across the family as per question1. I believe my cousins will swoop into the house and take what they want, and not allow anyone choice. (I don't want anything fancy or costly, all I want from the house is an armchair that my gran sat on all my life)
Thanks
