Ex husband changed his will when in a hospital during covid

My ex husband and l had a really good friendship after divorce , so much so he made a will leaving his bungalow etc to me , His friend ( a women ) he was leaving 15 thousand pounds .he had wrote this will freely , and gave it to my sister too look after for approx 20 yrs , however 18 months ago during Covid lock down , He was told his cancer was now terminal , and that he might have a week or so too live ? His women friend then asked my sister for his will ? She then got a local solicitor too see my ex husband and get him to draw up a new will leaving half of his money too her and her son daughter and grandchildren . I now find the new will gives me 20,ooo pounds , and my son who is 45 the rest of his monies after her family share is taken,  plus my sons inheritance will be tied up in a Trust fund ? I feel this women has been coercive by saying unless he changed his will she would not help him while he was now dying ? 

Do l have a valid claim too over throw this new will ! Made when he was emotionally blackmailed in hispital , where we could not visit him. Due to  Covid ?

  • How long has your ex husband been with his woman friend?  If she has invested a lot of years in to a relationship with your husband, perhaps she felt that she should now be his priority.  I apologise if this is not what you want to hear, but you and your ex husband  have been apart for a lot of years and whilst it is great that you have remained good friends, frankly I think that his woman friend has a right to be his main prioroty, especially if they have been together for a lot of years.
