Re: Will Challenge
thank you for your question to law guru.
Reading what you say this sounds like a prime case for an immediate application to the court that the application by the stepchildren be struck out and that they pay you appropriate damages for the cost and inconvenience you have suffered by way of their application.
You will appreciate that without further information I am unable to advise on the merits of the case but there is clearly sufficient delay on the part of the claimants to warrant a striking out.
This is a matter which clearly needs to be resolved. I will be happy to advise further if you care to get in touch.
