Inheritance dispute

[Alltoooooomuch]

My ex partner recently died unexpectedly. We have one child together DS (11) but my ex hadn't updated his Will so his estate has gone to his mother.

She's refusing to discuss any settlement for DS. Where does he/I stand with disputing the Will?

I quite explicitly stated I wasn't sure by "hadn't updated his will" whether the OP meant there was a will or he simply hadn't written one. Where I live that phrase could mean the latter so I imagine that's why others weren't clear either.

So no need to be so snippy.
