Husband (only child)worked all his life on the family farm,no official wages just cash in hand etc. Was not supposed to get married,was supposed to stay single and look after his elderly father. However he met and married me 5 years ago, we had 3 children,but we stayed near the farm and he continued with the work and caring for his father.
His father had signed a paper that would enable my husband to use the land for the REPS to give our family more income, though the REPS papers had not been signed when my husband died in an accident 5 months ago.
AFAIK, there was nothing of the land and property in my husband's name, I think that it is in his father's name.
So my dilemma-where do I stand? I don't know whether to bring it up or just forget about it all and walk away
Since my husband's death nothing has been mentioned at all. In laws(cousins of my husband) have appeared on the scene to help my FIL with the farm work.
REPS has never been mentioned again,except that I was told by one of the cousins that my FIL is going into the scheme himself.
I feel abandoned-I have been left to sink or swim on a Widow's Pension.
The fact that my husband worked all his life on the farm, was looking after his father, and was bringing up his own family there has been forgotten.
Does anyone know what the position is for my children re any succession rights? I can find a bit about succession rights, but grandchildren are not mentioned.
Thanks, dillisk
