I am looking for an accurate answer in the following situation.We have lots of opinion and it is a real situation which is happening to my wifes' brother.
His wife died suddenly several years ago leaving himself and 2 teenage offspring.
He had a Life Policy on his wife which he had paid for.There was no Will-but the policy paid out to him. Quite a substantial sum I gather.
The 2 teenagers-now a little older-seem to be getting "advice" from their deceased mothers family, and are being led to believe that this policy should have been divided in three-that is one third each.
That is the situation in a nutshell .So would appreciate comment from anyone familiar with the legal aspect of this situation.
