GBM Grade 4

I lost my amazing husband a little over a year ago.  On 3rd March 2014 Richard was diagnosed with a brain tumor, but nothing serious, surgery will remove the tumour and you continue with life.  On 10th March 2014 the diagnosis changed dramatically, after meeting with a team of specialists we discovered the true diagnosis of a GBM grade 4 tumour, we were numb, The long story short, I lost such an amazing man and husband on 27th February 2016 and my life stopped the same time, all I wait for is to join my husband, though Richard wants me to 'continue' living and 'smile' again it is I who am left behind. So much has changed since losing Richard and not for the good, I am a victim of fraud that is under investigation with the police, Richard has two adult sons who changed thier minds in honouring their fathers wishes which caused me to make the fraudulent investments. Our home is on the market and at some stage I will be 'homeless' until negotiations with Richards sons is concluded. I have no idea where to go or what to do until I join Richard. 

  • Hi,

    So sorry to read about your loss and the family issues which followed. There is nothing sadder or more hurtful than family disagreements about someone's Will.

    This may seem insensitive but have you sought legal advice? I'm taking a wild guess here but my understanding is that any Wills made before a marriage become null and void as soon as a marriage is registered. The only way his sons would have any say in how your husband's estate is managed would be if he made a new Will and signed it after you were married.

    Best wishes
    Dave

  • Hi Dave

    I have two solicitors now, one for probate and the other for beneficiary, Richards sons were advised to seek their own representation after the second son changed his mind. Unfortunately our home is in Richards name and where the greed comes in for money.
