Hiya, cheers for help / advice in advance,,,,here we go.....
I am the child of Heather and Troy, they divorced when I was about 10
Troy (my dad) met a new lady called Jill, Jill already had 2 daughters from another marriage,they were about 8 and 10, they were call Mary and Lisa.
About 40 odd years have passed since, with me seeing Troy (dad) occasionally until there was no contact for the last 25 years.
Today Mary after doing quite a bit of research found me and appeared on my doorstep.
She told me Troy (dad) had died 2 years ago her Mum Jill had sadly died a year later and on top of that Lisa, her sister, had died a short while ago.
She told me Troy had left a will but with a will writing company, the company has gone bust and she cannot find the will, so at time of
writing there is NO will.
During her visit she told me Dad had written me out of the will, but i would be entitled to a few pounds,,,,,,,,
She was obviously very upset, it had been a couple of awful years for her but I was totally out of the picture
and no one called me to let me know my dad was dying otherwise I would have stepped up.
After all the above my question is simple, with no will and only Mary (daughter of Jill but not Troy's daughter) and me (blood son of Troy) left living
what is legally correct re any property etc,via probate As after 2 years this is the only contact made and Mary now has my number and address but i do not have hers.
There is a substantial property that was owned by both Jill and Troy (both girls moved out and married in their 20s) that has been empty for 2 years now and probate is now being addressed by Jill's
birth daughter Mary.
Sorry this i so longwinded but i wanted to explain who was who and who is left.
thank you for taking the time to read - and any answers would be great.
