Longer answer: when my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer a few years back, my grandfather initially wished/assumed that his estate should go to his line i.e. his father's children aka me. He either changed his will accordingly or found he didn't need to.
However my father, while still able to do so, objected. He made it clear his wishes were for his wife to stand in his stead in terms of inheriting, so she would have no needs when he was gone. Grandfather changed his will accordingly.
Mum realised that she had actually been left fairly well off anyway - her income from inheriting my father's pension was enough to live off and although most of their estate is property she had a reasonable nest-egg. So she started investigating a 'deed of variation' to redirect a portion of grandfather's estate directly to me, basically to avoid IHT and on the basis I could use it more than she could.
Which makes the way things played out rather amusing, in a dark way.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
