What I read about this case is that the mother didn't have strong links with the animal charities so it can be concluded she acted out of spite.
Also I think judges don't like animal charities very much as this isn't the first case some of them have fought.
The only thing I conclude from this is if you hate your offspring and are elderly leave your money to your cleaner, your home help and the postman."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by Underbase View PostI also heard a Lawyer talk about this and said "If you really want to do this, then give most of it away first. It can't be overruled in the will then as it is already gone."Comment

There are some interesting sites about contesting wills in the UK on the web. Generally if you write a will doing it properly using a solicitor with witnesses, do it at least a good few months before you die and aren't incapacitated when you write it, then it stands."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI know from other court cases I know more about than what is published in the media, we don't get to hear some of the interesting facts which sway the judge. I suspect the animal charities were up to no good e.g. were deliberately obstructive when asked repeatedly to give certain documentary evidence to the court.

Allegedly the daughter eloped with the Mother's other half and subsequently popped out a few sprogs with him. I can see why that didn't quite sit right with the old girl.
In retrospect, she could have avoided this unfortunate outcome by simply having gifted her excess cash to the "Maketheincrediblycharmingshaunbhoyconsiderablyric her Foundation".“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun.
