My friend passed away earlier this year age 41, unexpectedly and with no will in place.
She has one living parent (one deceased) and 3 siblings.
I guess in this case that Intestacy rules apply.
The problem we have is that her living parent has been estranged from my friend since the age of 8. Her parent was utterly despised by my friend and the thought of this man inheriting anything from her estate would be a travesty.
Is there anything in law that protects her and her siblings from an estranged parent inheriting under intestacy rules?
