i lost my aunt last year i was very close to her. my middle son before she died was going on and on about her will,i have mental illness and i cracked under stress and told him my aunt had left him and his 2 brothers 3000 each to to get him to shut up at that time she had left them that amount. then shortly before she had a big stroke she wanted to change her will her partner of 22 years had walked out on her . i was doing the running about for her arranging the solicitor etc. the day before her stroke i had gone to fetch her a copy of her amended will from the solicitor. i had to read it through for her as she was partially sighted she had cut my sons out. she said they never bothered to visit her. ok i was upset but not alot i could say . i told my son because i didnt want him thinking i had lied about them being in her will. then the next day my aunt had a big stroke she couldnt talk and sadly she died 3 weeks later but my son kept on at me saying i had persuaded her to take them out her will . i gave my sons 1000 each as he was on about contesting her will. even the day after her funeral he was ringing me asking for money. my brother and i was left her house and a fair amount of money. but it went to probate so any money was not given out until 6 months after. i was devastated losing my aunt she was my mums identical twin and i was worried about my mum . it was a devastating time. we found lots of unused heart meds in her house which her partner when he was with her was suppose to had been giving her so there was a police investigation but they said there wasn't enough evidence. then a post mortuem . just as my mum and me are trying to come to terms with losing my aunt,her sister. my middle son tries to contest the will but our solictor wrote back to his solictor and said it was too late the end of probate date had passed. but then our solictor then recieves another letter from his saying they had a 12 year period though to prove fraud but carefullt they didnt name names. i was devastated as i know full well who is being accused me ,he has accused his own mother. as he had been saying to me i had persuaded my aunt to cut them out. my mum is very upset about it to. i can not believe he tried contesting my aunts will over 3000 i had given him and his brothers 1000 each i could not give them anymore its complicated but in uk if u claim benefit then have to come off if u inherit once that money has gone you have to prove you didnt waste it or gift large amounts.
i was so upset at what my son did i have now cut him out of my will. a few times he has questioned me over my mum and dads will saying me and my brother will ger half of everything i told him all the grandkids are in it he said "yeah but you will give me extra wont you" i have told him many times not to talk about wills i find it upsetting. he is 27 years old. have i done the right thing cutting him out of my will?
