Story in the daily mail (where else!) about a man who died and left all his estate around £500,000 to his two adult children and nothing to his five grandchildren who he said never went to see him. Surely a person has the right to leave his or her money and goods to whoever they want. Now the grandchildren are complaining. Well, all I can say is ‘your gonna reap just what you sow!’

Maybe, Callistemon21 - but £50 is thought out and quite specific.

My husband was left a fraction of an aunt's estate (something like 4/29ths) which was very precise and obviously thought through. Other people had smaller or larger fractions.

This £50 feels a bit like that in its precision. I would have thought it's hard to challenge. ... but I'm not a lawyer!
