Now watch as the 5 grand daughters fall out over who owes the legal costs and take that to court. /s
What a stupid case to take so far, glad they’ve found out
£50 is “I didn’t forget you, I deliberately left you out of the lion’s share”.
“[all but cut out his dead son Fred Jnr’s five adult children from his £500,000 will](https://metro.co.uk/2024/03/04/man-left-grandkids-50-500k-fortune-didnt-visit-enough-20396237/) because he was ‘upset’ they didn’t visit him often during his later years.” I mean its quite alot of money, but personally i’d happily give all that money and more to see my own grandads/nans alive again, so i can sort of also understand why if they didn’t visit him why he didn’t feel like leaving much to them.
Getting upset over money from this feels really shallow.
Inheritance is a privilege, not a right. Especially for grandchildren. I know this all too well, I was left out of my grandfather’s will. You accept it and move on.
The granddaughters were fighting for only £33k before taxes each, lol. Why would anyone take the legal risk for £33k?? After lawyers fees that’s maybe £10k even if they win???
These people are clearly morons but how the hell has something like this costs over £200k?
£136k for defence? Why would defending a will cost that much?
And £85k for the granddaughters legal bills, even split between the 5 it’s still £17k each.
I’m genuinely baffled and hope I’m never involved in any sort of legal battle like this!
Hahahaha. Good “Be grateful with what you get because you could get nothing” Is a lesson I learned before i started secondary school.
