****UPDATED #32****
I'd appreciate your advice about wills,please...
My OH's mother died several years ago.OH has had very little to do with her for most of his life and hasn't had any contact since about the mid 1970's....(his parent's divorced,she left her son's with their father,she had occasional contact but then didn't bother with them)...she later married and had a son.
Curiosity got the better of me....(you know what it's like with this hobby!)...and I sent for her will.She died intestate but I received..is it letters of Administration?...It stated the gross value of estate at £240,000 and net value of £50,000...This,of course went to her son from her 2nd marriage who had a proper relationship with her....Hubby doesn't know I have this information and keeps asking me to try and find her will.
My question is this...as there was no will,should her son have looked for my hubby for his share of the estate,as my OH is the eldest child?
Would my hubby have a case to obtain his share if he gets a solicitor?
My OH is very suspicious of there being lots of money which has all gone to his half-brother.
At the time of her death,half-brother lived in a modest property in a not very nice area,he now lives in a fabulous,huge house on a new housing estate which was purchased about a year after she died.(We have found him on Facebook)
Just so you know...I'm hoping hubby can't get his hands on this money.I don't feel his mother intended him to get any or she would have written a will stating her intentions!
Thanks for reading and thanks for any advice!
