So what should I do?

LISTEN to the advice you're being given.

Should I go to the land registry and tell them not to transfer the title to my mother because it should be going to me?

You do not yet KNOW that the property should be.

You DO know that the BUSINESS should be - yet you've already "agreed" to let your mother have that.

And should I go and see a solicitor and fight against my mother so that the business stays mine?

You have two choices...
1. Do precisely that.
2. Smile, roll over, and sign "your rightful inheritance" away.

I could stand up for myself but the risk of doing so is that my mother will end up hating me and so too would my sister, my brother, my nephews and niece Etc. Letting them do as they wish and disregarding my rights almost seems like the easiest option but where will it all end?

With you not getting what your father wanted you to get.

Your family clearly regard that as more important than harmony and relationships. They, frankly, started this. Will they love and respect you if you DO acquiesce?

If I fought them I would have to move away and start a new somewhere.

Why?

So many lies I feel sick. ... Also if the business should have gone to me after my father passed away, what about all the rent that my mother has had for nearly 2 years?... I wish I knew for sure what is the best for me to do?

The rent money has gone where the rest will go. Not in accord with your father's will and wishes. See a solicitor.

For two years already all has gone not in accord with the will. All that's changed is that you've now seen what the will says and are starting to realise that your father's will is being disregarded, as are your entitlements under it.

Nige, with the best possible will in the world, you are becoming exceptionally tiresome.

Thanks for the advice.

All, do try to be nice to nige_wales, he's already dealing with enough strife and doesn't need any more from here than he's already getting from us telling him what he should be doing.

Thanks for the advice.

Ok, the language was harsh but over two epic threads and it still seems like the advice has not sunk in.

Everyone was very nice, in the first thread, but it seems the messages still haven't been received.

Anyway, I apologise for lowering the tone, I won't be aggressive in this thread again.

This has raged on for 2 threads now. The forum users can give their advice and opinions but ultimately either nige_wales has to let this go or stick his hand in his pocket and go and get some proper legal advice.

Hi, I've been in contact with an inheritance solicitor online and she has told me that everything goes to my mother because of a clause (residuary estate).

Here is a pic of the section 4 of the will.

I don't understand what this means exactly does anyone here understand it?

Cheers,

does the clause granting you the business appear after this clause 4???

because it sounds like the will leaves everything to your mother, and the business only comes to you if she pre-deceased your father.

which makes all the secrecy on the part of your mother and sister a bit weird, given an explanation of this section would have settled everything. But it is what it is.

Edit to add:

In simple terms, it sounds like the will is set up to leave everything to your mother, except that which goes to the taxman and the funeral. The rest of the following stuff in the will only applies if your mother cannot receive the gift (perhaps as a result of dying first).

I cannot be 100% on this interpretation as I haven't seen the will in full and I am not a solicitor, but given you say that is what a solicitor advised you then I suspect it is right.

The residue is the bit that's left after everything else, which is explicitly listed, has gone as specifically directed.
So if it says "The business goes to Nige, THEN the residue goes to Nige's Mum", then Mumsy receives everything BUT the business.
If the "business goes to Nige" is AFTER the "following provisions apply instead", then - yep, the business is Mumsy's.
