  • Siblings don’t want me to have my share of fathers will

    Estranged from father however, I was informed of his death but no correspondence or information forwarded to me. Until now when I received a solicitor letter representing my two siblings. Stating that the will he’d made 14 years ago I had been bequeathed a % of his estate. They have requested that I shouldn’t accept as I had had no relationship with him for many years. They state that he had in recent years informed them that he didn’t want me to have my share. My argument is this will was made years after our estrangement and they have said it would be prudent for me to give up my inheritance as they had looked after his medical needs.
    I spoke to the solicitor who sent the letter he is going to send me a copy of the will I’m assuming he’s the executor but I don’t know anymore than that. I explained I wasn’t going to make a decision as I have no idea how much his estate is worth. I don’t think it’s gone to probate yet.
    help please

    Once you have seen the Will, reply that you will not do what your siblings request and that you expect to receive the full amount to which you are entitled under your late father's Will.

      In which case your father had several years in which he could have changed his will but clearly didn't so perhaps he changed his mind instead... is what I'd be telling your siblings.

            It may be advisable to do that.
