  Property Ownership and Contesting a Will?         


Author: JasonS
Date: Jul 6, 2008 17:10

OK, 2 problems, both linked. I do not have all the details but I would
like just some rough information on what options are available and what
I should do.

My girlfriends mum passed away 18 months ago. Due to the incompetence
of the solicitor and the executors this has rumbled on for too long.
The money has been sorted. There is no problems there. The problem is
with the house.

An original will was written which split ownership of the house 50/50.
This will was then updated leaving 2/3rds to my girlfriend and 1/3 to
her mothers husband.

However, there is now a problem with the updated will. Attestation
clause has been mentioned - Anyone know what this it?

This is the first problem. Does this Attestation clause mean that a
previous will might be reinstated? This would mean my girlfriend would
lose out on a portion of her mothers home as well her mothers wishes
not being carried out. The wishes are clearly outlined in the updated
will. (The home was fully owned by her mother before her death.)

You'll hold him responsible if your version turns out to be wrong.
