No.Can I contest this legally while my mother is still alive?
YesDo I have to wait until after her death to contest it through a section 117 application?
IANALWill I fail as I have assets already?
In a nutshell, yes.Or do I simply have to accept her decision?
This is the heart of the issue: take a deep breath & step back.I now have no relationship with my mother or siblings - and that hurts.
Not so. Whilst it’s her choice, there may well be grounds for a claim if you’re being unfairly excluded. Seek legal advice.Anyway, I agree it is her choice so nothing I can do about it.
I live near her and up to that point had done her shopping, cleaning etc as my siblings live away.
I now have no relationship with my mother or siblings - and that hurts.
She is paying a local person and since I stepped back one of siblings does visit more often.As a matter of interest who looks after your mother now in light of the fact that your siblings live away?
Finally, I would never again discuss the contents of your mother's will with her.
This avoids spurious accusations of undue influence.
I wouldn't cut off all ties, just visit her when you want and on your terms.I think I'll just stay removed from them all. If I try to make amends, I'll just be her carer again
