My FIL died very suddenly and unexpectedly, with no will having been made.
His wife rightly lives in their house, my DP has no relationship with her now, huge fallout over his DFs death/funeral.
They had no children together, my DP is an only child, he believes she will leave the house to her sister/nieces, does he have any rights regards this? She has also claimed his pension in full.
His DF paid all household costs as SM only worked occasional 10/16 hr pw jobs (now retired)
In Scotland.
Any advice is helpful.
