....there are two main grounds on which to contest a will - its validity, or financial dependency on the deceased. The majority of cases tend to focus on the former and can include doubts about the mental capacity of the person making the will, concerns over undue influence placed on them at the time of making the will, or a lack of knowledge or approval from the will maker.
A court will assume the will is valid, so the onus is on the challenger to provide evidence that suggests otherwise. If the court decides there is doubt, the burden is then on those who want the will to proceed in its existing form to prove it was completed correctly.
The 1975 Inheritance Act provides another route for redress. Where a relative was financially dependent on the deceased at the time of death, that person has a right to claim on the estate if they are left out. However, if their challenge is successful it does not necessarily mean they will receive a lump-sum payment; it is more likely the court will grant maintenance payments.
Well Christmas came and went, bad as it could be. But worse was to come, I had been sort of patting myself on the back for being a bit more in control, then New years day came and hit me full in the face. I think it was the thought of a whole year in front of me, I think it must of been like staring down the barrel of a gun, it has taken me until now to gain control again. The sick empty feeling is back and my brain has deserted me again.
I am going to look forward to Shepton on Friday and I am going to GO.
Good on you Josie. Do what can be done by yourself, but taking twice the time and half the speed. I know ! But at least there's only one person now who knows where things have been hidden, lost or stowed away. YOU
Have a good time doing that which will be "different" but familiar.
Wish I could get along as well, but friends do find time for me, so invites to lunch etc, are most welcome. Saves me having to slave away making a meal for one, but I can and do just that on other days. Enjoy the change and recall the memories, but always, take great care >

Josie, this will probably continue in some way: two steps forward, and one back, then perhaps three forward ........ Your determination to go to Shepton shows you're taking control again. Congratulations as well as condolences.
Big well done, for getting this far, and for getting up each day and facing what is ahead. Doing that alone is an achievement.
New Year caught you unawares, that happened to me the first year too, I was concentrating so hard on getting through Christmas that I didn't even give New Year a thought and wham! it was horrible, but I did what we do and survived it.
Grief can catch you off guard quite often, sideswiping you when you least expect it.
Take good care,
Ca
