even if they were the most worthy people in the world -its irrelevant.
i would either say nothing at all, just ignore them...let them sit and wait in vain,
or just say "well i am sure you will find out soon enough whether my father was in agreement with you when his will is read out ... you will get what you deserve i am sure" - ie - nothing
do they know they are not in the will? or do they think they may be?
i cant think of many people who would choose "people they used to go to a club with " over their son...
just for the craic...i would ask them to write to you stating exactly why they think they should get anything, what amount they believe they should get and why they think your father clearly didnt agree with them, or he would have seen to it that they received it...
id like to see how they manage that
its amzing really - i mean even if i was genuinely entitled to something, in these circumstances itd be an absolutely dreadful cal to have to make... to just phone someone up and ask for cash.
