First, I lost my husband – now I have to sue my toddlers

Posted 04/06/2009

Robert Chalmers, a Wealth Management Partner at Ashtons Legal, comments on an article recently featured in the Telegraph about a mother’s agonising battle to save her family’s home and inheritance after her millionaire husband died leaving a flawed will.

Robert says: “This article illustrates the stark reality of what can happen when people either fail to plan early enough, or put their intentions on paper but don’t make them binding by ensuring their Will complies with the legal requirements. I hope reading it will help people to realise the importance of making a Will, ensuring its provisions are tax-effective, and involving a solicitor in its preparation to ensure that all the correct legal boxes have been ticked”.
