If you seriously think you have a legal claim strong enough to contest a will then I suggest you speak to an attorney.

Well my mum had an affair which im the result of,she went on to have a further 2 kids with him which obviously are his,i was told at the age of about 9-10 which caused me massive psychological problems growing up and it still affects me today.

He does admit im his but as never helped emotionally or financially....just wondered where i stood as theres been alot of talk about the will recently.

It's an expensive business,no legal aid granted and you need a solicitor.

I know of several people with 100% genuine reasons who contested wills at great expense and got nowhere.

The beneficiary of a will receives a bequest not an entitlement

It is messy and complex. There are a few reasons why a will may be set aside and the most likely ground to succeed would be the testator not considering someone whom by rights they should. However, it is very messy and I'd suggest seeking proper advice. Until there is a death and the will is read out, you don't have a case.

I'm glad my children don't have a sense of entitlement.

Its not a sense of entitlement i have,i was just interested and wanted to learn a little more.as i said theres so much more to this story but fabs aint the place,its personal and upsetting,if you knew half of what went on during my mums marriage to him you'd understand.

Its not about money for me,id give everything i had just to get closure.

I think that's probably a separate issue to your original question.

You probably need (for your own sake) to establish that he's definitely your father and take it from there.

From experience I would say if you can accept that its likely you'll get nothing you will feel much more at peace.

A last will and testament is an enforceable documented instruction of the deceased's intention ......how you decide to respect that intention is entirely up to you.....

If you feel strongly I would advice taking legal advice but that will incur costs you can not recover and advice you may not wish to here

Im kinda in argreement with this. By the sounds of it you dont know this man (ie the Christmas card thing) why would he leave you stacks of cash just because he has it? Go make your own!!! Id much rather my parents pissed anything they have left up the wall and had a great time doing it than leave it for me, they brought me up to sort myself out. Why bother with this man? Hes not worth amother thought in my opinion

Every parent should, but some aren't good parents.

And this is exactly why you shouldn't really be seeking such advice on here. Cases live and die on facts, and the type of facts necessary to determine the legal status of a will are not ones that should be shared openly on a swingers site....

If there is a real, identifiable, and convincing legal argument to contest the will, see a lawyer. If this is about personal grievances or just trying to get a piece of a fairly large pie, then I would say to just let it go. It's expensive, it's mentally exhausting, and it's often not worth it.

Wills bring up so many issues and have such significance personally to the people connected with the author of them that the effects are almost secondary in lots of cases. This seems in our experience to be particularly true when step parents or step children are involved.

Try to find resolution to the issues that you have if you can so that the will loses its significance for you.

Best wishes.

It sounds like this isn't about money or anything about the will at all to be honest. If you need recognition from him now as his son, ask for a DNA. Instead of contesting a will when he's not dead yet, try to connect with him and build a relationship?

no matter

Whose will are you wanting to contest? Bloody awful business painful and expensve.

A family member had to do this back in the late 60's when her husband died and left her nothing.

Dont really see you have any claim on a man who may or may not be your father. Surely a visit to CAB or a solicitor would be advisable
