Death of my sons dad in the Philippines

Ayr_Rage

I hope in the case of @[Deleted User]'s father that he did actually make proper provisions for his widow, especially regarding his pensions if they were held in the UK.

If he had wanted to leave something to other members of his family it certainly sounds as if he was smart enough to have that in place.

There is nothing wrong if those were his final wishes.

Just wondering if the lady who left this comment had any success as I now find myself in same situation my father passed away in Philippines and 2nd wife was a Filipino who said he had no will but was in good job lots of assets, pensions in place etc always financially secure .. his 1st born kids in uk and only grandchildren were left with nothing whilst she is living her best life with all of his money and the big house they lived in that he paid for as her & her daughter both don’t work and prefer to spend their days laughing & dancing about on tik tok or holidays and shopping spending all of our inheritance .. she’s already looking for husband No2 on tik tok .. they both disgust me .. vile humans .. its so wrong! 

He was her husband, they were married. 

If Philippine law is anything like UK, she would generally be entitled to inherit everything, unless a will was present (made after the second marriage).

People often overlook the consequences when getting married.

It's a shame you didn't have conversations with your father about this at the time.

Are the pensions UK based? Were beneficiaries named, as would often be the case?

As it stands, you don't appear to be entitled to an inheritance.
It's unlikely you'll ever find out if this was your father's intention or not.
Perhaps he wanted his new wife to be provided for, would that be so unusual or even unreasonable?

See my previous post, inheritance laws in the Philippines are nothing like UK law.

Under Philippine  laws of inheritance children are legitimate heirs above spouse , even if a will says otherwise. Unless the child has been officially disinherited.

You could try contacting the UK Embassy in the Philippines and asking for their advice. They will have experience of these situations

I wouldn't expect them to offer any advice other than tell you to contact a local lawyer.

Actually in response to your sarky comment my father would have wanted any assets shared equally amongst his children and grandchildren not to go entirely to the 2nd wife to spend it on luxury holidays, clothes and men! This was money his children & grandchildren were entitled to, so ‘keep pedalling’ your factless thoughts & opinions  elsewhere!

Did he actually communicate those wishes to you?

If he did, why didn't he make a will and ensure all beneficiaries were aware of its existence?

@Keep_pedalling hasn't actually made any sarky comment. He has simply pointed out Phillippine law is different to the UK. You owe him an apology.

That is a strange response to a statement of fact. If you actually bothered to check out the link I provided you would have seen that under Philippine law a spouse does not inherit everything. 

But don’t worry, I won’t be providing you with any more facts in future.

I think you may have meant to put "doesn't inherit everything" if I've read your comment on page 1 correctly?

He did actually disclose his wishes just had not got around to putting it in a will due to his sudden death not that this has got anything to do with you ., beneficiaries legitimate children and grand children in uk weren’t disclosed by the second wife to the authorities in the Philippines!
