Is it fair to leave my house and money only to my granddaughter as my son has fallen out with me.
My son has fallen out with me years ago but his daughter carried on visiting and helps quite a lot. I need to sort my will out and have been delaying it as my dilemma is should I leave my house and money to my granddaughter only or should I give something to my son who doesn’t want to know me.
