Wills in Chelmsford and throughout the rest of the UK should not mislead anyone to expect to inherit anything. By way of illustration, it was reported in an edition of Farmers Weekly that a farming inheritance battle (that one of three daughters of a farming family eventually won) will potentially cost the parents legal fees of approximately £1 million. This is because, whilst two of the daughters did not want any part in the family business, the third stated she had spent around thirty years working on the farm for little or no salary but her parents apparently showed her draft wills in 2009 indicating the whole farm was to be left to her.
However, the wills were changed so all three daughters could benefit equally from the farm and the one that stayed to work on the farm was threatened with eviction from a cottage on the farm where she still lives arguing she could buy her own house. Nevertheless, it was actually determined by the court in this instances that such a state of affairs did not reflect her parents original promise to her and the work she put into the farm and so she was awarded £1.3 million. Therefore, to avoid these kinds of problems arising in the future, there is a clear need for people to look to ensure that they do not mislead anyone to expect to inherit under the terms of their wills in Chelmsford and throughout the rest of Essex.
