You need advice from a solicitor. It’s possible that you could contest the will and stand a good chance.

That would hurt, what does younger brother feel about it, is he shocked too and would like you all to have some money. Do you think she was made to do this.

My brother just said he feels bad about it,Mum wasn't made to do this she made the will about 12 yrs ago.But there was another will before that and that said to be divided by the 4 of us.My only understanding is that because he went back home after is divorce,she looked at him as her carer regardless of him working full time.I can only assume it was that.But a bit unfair as we all did things for her and had our own families.My Brother was divorced with no children.

If I was your brother i would share my inheritance out, is it a lot of money.

Yes £70000 plus the family home value 50000 it isn't the money,My Mum inherited her home and moneys due to her parents owning a farm and it's land. Myself and My sister and brother have all worked and still do.We all have mortgages we are comfortable,not rolling in it but just happy with our lot.I dont believe he will give us any,he his not like that.We have always joked how tight he was.As i said definitely not the money just hurt.
