Isn't it wonderful how the smell of money galvanises the entitled to that which they ought to consider fortuitous.

All this talk of people questioning the wishes of the dearly departed, revising their own wills (or attitudes) based on what they believe they should get, etc. It just warms the heart!

Old Merc: Maybe your sister really loved him, she did marry him after all. Also it's not that difficult to make provisions for nephews etc even within the legal confines of marriage and intestacy. That she didn't suggest perhaps that she was content (in spite of what she told you) with the state of affairs the way they were?

+1 I read Old Mercs post and wondered why he felt more entitled to his sisters estate than her husband.

I did not think I was entitled to her property,but I realise now it was a mistake talking about my sister`s situation.All I was trying to point out was the need to make a will or a legal document as she intended to leave the property to my grandchildren (NOT ME).
There is so much more to this case that I can not post on here,even the police were involved.If you new all the facts I`m sure you would understand my feelings.
