Re: wills

far more information will be required before it is possible to provide an opinion on the entitlements to these estates. It will in particular the necessary to obtain a copy of the will of the mother and father and consider whether any of the interested parties have an entitlement under the Inheritance (provision for family and dependants) Act 1975.

We will be pleased to consider the matter further if required.
