I have some experience of this. Like others on here, I advise your friend to seek legal advice from another legal practice and a change in her will. They will discuss all options with her. My own personal experience was one that caused me great stress but worked out in the end. A long story but basically my dad died and mum inherited the house. She remarried a lovely man who had 3 not so nice adult children. Mum explained before the wedding that should she die first (not expected as he was 8 years older) he could remain in the house until he died and the house in trust to me. She put provision that I paid for house repairs. Mum started with dementia and one of his children took over organising my mum's bank. She transferred all mum's cash over to his bank and constantly got on to her father about the deeds to the house, complaining they should not be with my mother's solicitor. By the way, mum continued to pay all the bills on the house, due to an inheritance from her father. and my step father didn't have any funds apart from his pension. Mum paid for all holidays and they had a good life. When mum passed away, my step family kept going to various solicitors to see if they could contest the will and believed that my dad's house should of gone to their 90 year old father instead. My mother's solicitor was marvellous and supported me through a very difficult time. He had a duty to tell me whenever he was contacted by yet another firm of solicitors asking for details of my mother's will. Thankfully, she had made it watertight by leaving the property in trust. Step families can change once there is a death, and I do hope your friend gets this sorted. A new will, will cancel the old will and needs to be done to protect her daughter from losing what is rightfully hers to another man's family. I would also consider leaving this controlling and abusive man.
