    Strange how relatives always come out of the woodwork when a person dies. The OP wants the money as 'he was still their Dad' That close that the OP hasn't even seen 'their Dad' for 2 years :confused:

    The Dads girlfriend made one mistake only and that was not marrying the Dad then the money grabbing kids wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

    Yes, it's well-known that relatives do crawl out of the woodwork, but an ex-wife? As I understand it an ex-wife is NOBODY, no relation to the dead person, that marriage is history, and the ex-wife has just the same rights - no more no less - than any passer-by in the street. She should certainly NOT drive behind the hearse at the funeral!

    Op sounds like a right charmer, calling a recently bereaved woman a wittch and asking that they should be allowed to just go into her house and help themselves to what they are "entitled" to. I know there have been some accusations of bullying on this thread but if I met anyone as obnoxious as the OP in real life i would be tempted to slap them so hard their whole family would feel it. A callous, thick money grubbing piece of sewage in my opinion.

    Actually, I said in light of the accusations of bullying that had been made on other threads... Later I pointed out that there hadn't been bullying, but it could lead to those accusations.

    I can't think of anything nice to say about the OP except perhaps that they haven't come back. And that is me struggling to see the good!

    With any luck the OP has read his/her posts again and realised how mean they sound

    the ring is his old wedding ring.she says dad threw it in the bin and she said it wasnt right to do that and kept it in her jewellery box. i need that money now. she wont talk to us cause my brother took a video of dad dead in hospital to show mum and dad hated mum. not that bothered about pics as wasnt close to him we dont believe she should have that house.

    So basically all you are after is anything of money value?

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    I'm 21 and i still didnt understand the first post! i must be old like you lot then!

    I think its utterly sick that your more interested in getting your sticky paws on some money or the house, are you not even upset that your dad is dead? making a video of him dead is just out of the question i've never heard anything so sick in my life!

    What happened to compassion cant you see that your dads partner is having a rough enough time as it is without you demanding you want this that and the other.

    Lets face it your going to get nothing not a bean!

    I dont mean to be harsh but thats the truth of it. Maybe you should go away and really think about your dead father instead of what you can get out of his death.

    My grandad died 4 years ago i think about him every day and cry because i miss him that much, i wasnt interested in what he had left me. its a year since i lost my nan i miss her too she left me money and i knew it was coming but to be honest i wasnt interested in that.

    you make your own way in life dont be expecting hand outs from everyone especially family who have passed away. I feel sorry for you that are just waiting like a vulture for the next person to die so you can get your hands on some money

    Im going to get emotionally involved in this, but what the hell.

    You know what mate, I lost my dad on March 25th this year. I loved him dearly and I, along with my Mum, nursed him daily over the last 12 months while he died with cancer.
    I did all this, because he was my Dad. Regardless of the arguments we had, the things I did that he disapproved of, the lies I told as a teenager he loved me unconditionally because he was my Dad. And I loved him. I never expected nor wanted money from him, he already gave me every bit of love he had.

    That "witch" your Dad lived with was the woman he had chosen, and he obviously loved her very much. You come crawling out of the woodwork spouting all this "He was my Dad" rubbish, yes he was your Dad, but you werent his son were you?

    A son would have supported him, loved him no matter who he had chosen to live his life with. A son would have visited him and done everything he could. A Son would not have expected Money.

    Do one thing to make your Dad proud. Walk away, forget your money and let the woman grieve in peace.

    Actually, admitting your brother video'd your fathers corpse in the hospital was rather stupid.

    I'm fairly sure that that is rather illegal :doh:
