Perhaps the fact that I am in Scotland makes it different from me. I have just been through a claim from a person who was not seen for 15 years had been caught fiddling money from my elderly mother prior to her death many years ago. I spent 20 year being carer to my parents mostly my dad. This "unpleasant person" has a full time job in NHS and a husband in work, they own 3 properties and their children are grown up and were "not allowed" to visit their grandparents or aunt or cousins but against my parents' wishes she was entitled to make a claim. This is why I am so again Legal Rights. Surely the person who owns the money house etc should decide who gets what and not the law. There are ways round this and those ways will be used in my estate.
