Morning,
I am looking for some advice please…
my lovely nanny died in march this year after being poorly for 2 years after her stroke. With great shock she has left her house to myself and my sister.
as you can imagine her blood children ( my Aunty’s ) and FUNMING about this.
amd have told me and my sister they are going to contest this and we deserve nothing.
my nans will was changed in 2018 with a solicitors present and her house. Going round to see her on two visits. My Nan also gave reasons for changing her will which has been written on the solicitors notes. Because she had a stroke 1 year later - they are saying she was not in the right state of mind ect ect. And that she was made to do it ! Which upsets me even more.
I have been getting nothing but nasty texts , and phones from them. They have been in touch with the solicitor and have paid to see the will. And are now asking for nhs records. This is really upsetting and worrying me as I have done nothing but love and care for my Nan for over 5 years with no payments wanted whilst her blood don’t see her from one week to the next. Can you see this going very far ? The solicitor said that the will is completely fine and we have nothing to worry about. Are they just wasting there money and time ?

Ignore them, block if they keep being aggressive but keep the texts. When the wider family tell you how bad you are, because they will tell anyone and everyone that you are grabby, bullied your DNan etc, you can show them the texts. Or just say “I have the abusive texts”

Do what your solicitor advised.

Sorry for your loss.

What about your mum ?

The solicitor who did the will will have to make cast iron sure that your nan was in sound mind to do the will. They could get into big trouble for writing the will of someone not of sound mind.
