Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in United Kingdom
married/separated inheritance
My husband and I are on a trial separation. I recently found out he has commited adultery. I have filed for a divorce he refuses to sign access papers regarding our children and divorce papers. He is due to inherit from his grandmothers death a week ago. There was a will reading which i knew nothing of and I am concerned that my children have been left inheritance also, but he may have acted on my behalf as their legal guardian, of which he is not. How do I find out if my children are due to inherit and am I entitled to half his inheritance as I am still his and the injured party?

Re: married/separated inheritance
there are a number of issues here. Firstly your husband's inheritance.providing he became beneficially entitled to the legacy during your marriage this will be a family asset for division between you.
You are entitled to see a copy of the will and should approach the executors for information as to whether your children have inherited.
It would seem that there is a dispute concerning the children which will have to be resolved by the court if you and your husband are unable to reach agreement.
