I am aware of a case where a persons brother died after a long illness but had made a will bequeathing all their monies and house to his 4 children from a previous marriage. 2nd marriage was late in life so no children. 2nd wife is allowed to stay in house until death and thats it. When she rang solicitor he would not see her and said a letter would arrrive explaining things. They were married about 20 years, brothr had all of the money when they met so bought house and kept it in his name, brother was younger than wife but did not outlive her.
Can 2nd wife demand to see contents of will??
Apparently the logic applied was that if she got all the estate she would leave everything to her children. and the others would get nothing. Must have been a very happy marriage!!
And can will be disputed on the basis she kept the house running for 20 odd years??
