My mother passed away last autumn and probate was granted two months later.
There are two beneficiaries, my sister and her daughter who is also the executor. The estate is valued at around £220,000.
My mother and I have never been close but we did keep in touch. About a year before she passed she told me that she had never thought of me as her son.
Inheritance: My late mother cut me out of her will, but can I still claim my share?
This was devastating but did answer some questions for me. She had never told me she loved me, never given me a hug or shown me any affection.
