So surprised to be written out of my fathers will

OP wouldnt be the one "spoiling the relationships" - the sisters would.

Imo to say "It wasnt me that wrote that will like that yer honour" is a useful excuse for those that "come out to the good" from an unfair Will. It's perfectly within their powers to amend things after the event and if they've chosen not to do so - then that's down to them and saying that was a useful excuse to use to justify it.

The OP would be spoiling the relationship by asking the sisters to go against their Father's wishes and will.

Beneficiaries don't need excuses.

A will is the written wishes of the person who is leaving money and assets to the person/persons he/she wants to.

It really is not for the people left behind to decide otherwise.

No .... but the one left out is entitled to seek a reasonable explanation. Perhaps the sisters can help with that.

But the OP hasn't been left out - they are to receive £10k which is no small sum IMO

Pretty difficult to get an explanation from a dead person.

The OP if they look into their heart must know the real reason or at least a reasonable reason why the Sister's have been left "more" in the will, either through a personality clash with father, help given in recent years, disagreement etc.

Why are they entitled to seek a reasonable explanation?

It's the written wishes of the deceased.

The real reason may not be anything to do with OP personally (it could just be down to illogical favouritism or OP being the "wrong sex" or quite a variety of other reasons that arent the fault of OP in any way).

Which is another reason why the OP needs to get over it and move on, or they will eat themselves up trying to reason why.
