inhertitance
3 Answers
can anyone help here please?
I have a Uncle (not blood uncle - he married by dad's sister). He hasnt written a will. He has no children. But we believe a second cousin somewhere along the line. When he dies does she has a right to his inheritance. He keeps saying that he wants to leave everything to me (his niece and my brother his nephew), but we keep explaining to him that he should write a will to make this legal. But his says well you are my niece and nephew so it will come to you anyway. But I am sure that as we are not blood relatives it won't and that his second cousin (who he hasnt spoken too for over 40 years) is entitle to the inheritance. As you can appreciate it is a very delicate subject. Add to this my Auntie (his wife) passed away sadly seven years ago and she inherited from her mother (my Nan) her wedding ring and family jewellery of my nan's which I would like to keep in our family, and not go off you somebody eg his second cousin, who didnt even no my nanna or my auntie. Has anyone got any advice about this please. My Nan was very dear to me and would especially love to have her wedding ring.
