It was written before a comlete diagnosis but was still clear to everyone she had it.
The main thing was my sister was taking money she did not know was going to be hers. The lawyer has actually told me she is a cheating lying crook but can do nothing about it.

Could you speak to her GP as they may be able to say if at the time she was of sound mind even without an actual diagnosis.

Don't know alot in these matters, but you could argue the will was created when she was not of sound mind and judgement, which could force the estate to be split equally among the immediate family.

I did ask about that, see above.

Strange to see it on a Mobile forum, but I suppose thats why they have Newbie Alerts

Wuld also think about the money you are looking to get back in the pot as it were and how much laywers will charge, might cost so much that you end up with nothing. In some of these blood money cases though the other siblings would rather the profiter is left with nothing and the rest left with nothing than letting them get away with the money at all

Ido not want anything.lawyers have been instructed to give my share to alzheimers scotland. It is just the fact she stole from her own family some who do need it more than me that gets me.

1) Your sis has mugged the rest of you
2) Your lawyers say 'tough luck'
3) You don't want the money anyway

Not sure what the purpose of the post is, other than to say your sister is mean. However, she still *is* your sister - this kind of thing can cause family rifts that go a long way and for years and decades. Certainly not your Niece's fault, does she deserve to lose an Uncle for your sister's sins? Swallow it - apparently you can't change it, and you never know when you'll appreciate not splitting the family.

you are missing the point i said other members of the family
do need their fair share of their rightful inheritance. My niece helped to defraud the rest by buying and reselling the property then keeping the money from everyone else, she is certainly not blameless.

I suppose it's to bring some kind of justice against the sister who seems to have gone out of her way to deceive the value of the state in order to make significant financial gains.

In ops situation, I cannot say I would care to much about preserving the relationship knowing she has merely seen the deaf of a loved one as an opportunity to gain financially.

It's sad, but it's even sadder this whole situation has arisen in the first place.


Moving on though, i'm not sure what you are looking for here op. You have spoken to the experts and they are unable to proceed with this. You could ring round solicitors until you find one that will take on the case -- but you may find they will take it on because you are paying them to do so and not because the genuinely believe you have a strong case to go forward.

From what I read from the op, the money the sister has gained is the difference between the £50k she put back in the pot from the sale of the house and the sale price for the sale of it the second time (about £50k?). Is this right op?

If the rest of your family need money, why have you given yours to charity? A nice gesture, but charity begins at home?

This might be totally irrelevant to the thread but it's bugging me so I'll ask: what's a deecee and how does it relate to the topic?

I wondered that too - maybe the OP's nickname?
