Mother in laws will

[Granniebenn]

I am writing to ask if anyone can tell me if I am entitled to part of my mother in laws estate. She passed away on the 31st of October 2023. My mother in law and I were very close. My husband passed away on the 2nd of January 2020. My mother in law, told me that she had told my husbands youngest brother who was executor of her will that she wanted to give me my husbands share.I was my husnamds full time carer for 9 years. I still found time to take my mother in law to all her hospital appointments, doctors appointments, opticians appointments. I used to order all medication. Take her shoppingup when she needed it. She always told me that I was her favourite. I've been told, that the will was only made out to her sons and grandchildren.It seems unfair that I should lose out, just because my husband passed away. I've done more for her than her own family have. If it wasn't for me, nobody would have known she'd had a fall. I took over my husbands role of phoning her 3 times a day to see if she was okay. I've had to block one of me sister in laws from my phone, as she called me yesterday and was ranting down the phone telling me I was greedy. I just wanted to know if I had any claim over my husbands share.

You have previously referred to a son. If your late husband was his father, then any bequest to your husband should pass down to his children.
