They're lucky to get £50, selfish!

Those grand children should be ashamed of themselves and their parents for letting them complain. Good for the Judge for not going along with them!

Many grandchildren never show up for their grandparents or even their parents, unless they are dead or about to die. I've seen it time and time again. These old people spend their old age forgotten and abandoned, at a time when they needed support the most. Not a call, not a bit of help and concern, or a simple visit. Then they die and all of a sudden everybody - not just grand children - shows up as if they were always there, trying to get their piece of the pie. Good on him doing that.

My father didn’t leave anything to his Grandchildren because he left it to us his children so they were lucky to get 50 pounds. Grandchildren don’t inherit above children.

I’d have burned every pound. If my grandchildren behaved as such they wouldn’t see a penny either. I’d make sure the money was spent immediately on food for animal shelters etc before it was left to any ungrateful offspring!!

I have always been of the opinion that if you do not reciprocate my love, visits, telephone calls or do not have the decency to say thank you for birthday or Christmas gifts whilst I am alive, you have made it quite clear that you do not want me in your life and deserve absolutely nothing from me when I die. Good on him. They were lucky to get £50.

Good on him! How embarrassing that the miserable bunch go to court to fight it!

Good For Him - it's amazing how the family circles when you pop your clogs.

Sounds reasonable to me good on him

Some of us also have children who are not good people and will be left nothing .

He was entitled to give them nothing

My Grandaughter will get effectively nothing, She's 21, at university, and hasn't bothered to pick up her face from her phone to even say "Hello" in years. I was gradually giving her my jewellery, (some inherited) but after the borderline insulting and definitely ungrateful response when the gift was an expensive, handmade silver and amber bracelet she'd previously admired, that stopped. Obviously, I'm still here and the relationship could improve, but as it stands she's due the modest amount given on birthdays and at Christmas. The small bequest shows she was not overlooked. I reared my children to understand that actions have consequences, if her mother has not instilled that knowledge in her, then so be it.

They were lucky they got £50. Personally, I don’t think they deserved a penny!

No body should expect anything from wills ,, they earned it , its up to them what they do with it ...

It says it all about these kids that they feel that they have the right to contest his will. Good for you Grandad I would have left them nothing if that’s their attitude.

"VULTURES"

My will says anyone who contests my will will not get anything

Way to go gramps!

That's more than what 99% of grand children inherit from gramps. That's because legally it all automatically goes to the spouse, if spouse also dead, goes to the oldest child. Meaning the grandkids dad not the grand kids

Nobody has a right to someone’s else’s money, if someone doesn’t want to leave it to you then tough luck. How’s about people financially plan to support themselves rather than feeling entitled to the money of others.

Where there's a Will... There's a family! They were lucky to get £50. I'd have left 50p!

A will is as it states. Nothing can be changed. Simple as that.

Good for him!!!!

its the grandfathers money

One of the results of loveless and selfish families.

I was a child from a rape my mother hated me my 5half siblings were told to hate me mother died left me out of her will which was 350 thousand pound i took 5siblings to court and won a share of the money it took 3yrs siblings didnot want mediation and so i managed to get a slicitor who took me on as i was his last case before retirement on a no win no fee base i told court i would of rather siblings accepted me but to this day they dont want to know me

Yes, he is entitled to do what the hell he wants, it's his money, it's his will. The greed, underhandedness and bald-faced lie/excuse for the claim which showed the immense disrespect of the grandkids was a disgrace - the courts had it right. A will should not be allowed to be contested. Mine won't be - I made sure of that. I made a video (with date recorded) of myself in my living room making it absolutely clear that I made that will without interference, I then got the camera, panned it around the room filming my executors, then down and filmed my will, all pages spread and unsigned on the table, and then set it on a sideboard so it could catch my executors getting up off the couch and and all of us signing it, myself sealing it in the envelope and handing it to them. There is a section in the will that references this video (which was put on a DVD). There is no doubt and no contest as it's not just words on a page. Everything I own goes to my brother and sister, grandkids, great grandkids - nothing. Let them make their own way in life as I did. As for the other examples that Vanessa brought up, and this is a hypothetical response based on what vanessa said by the way, well again, a will is a will so should be adhered to, however, I would not take the chance in any 'so-called questionable' condition as that person would simply not be in the will at all.

Before I retired I worked as a Secretary in a Law Firm and I always said I would never work in Family Law.

Give them nowt!!

I was left nothing by my parents as they had nothing. If your left nothing tough its not your money.

Grandkids shouldnt necessarily get anything. It goes to their children first. My grandparents on both sides, are both dead. I didnt get anything left in the will. But my dad did. And then its up to my dad whether he wanted to give anything to me and my sister. Grandkids can be so spoilt and selfish

To many greedy relatives out for money living off their parents!! I’ll never be left a penny but I have my own memories and my own hard work!!!

Sounds like even 50 quid was too much.

This legal lady is very articulate and impressive.

I have left my two sons my estate & grandchildren nothing,not because I don’t love them but I feel it’s up to their parents (my sons) to choose what they leave their children.

Grandfather was right 100%. Not visiting him then expecting everything.Well done grandpa.😂

My money my will....

Really, and this is news?

The Grandfather may have already helped his Eldest Son financially much more than his other 2 children, during the 5 Daughters upbringing, & before their father died!

When my dad died I got nothing when my grandparents died I got nothing and that's fine by me I didn't expect anything from them and I'm fine with that

It Is HIS MONEY. HIS

And who pays the bills.. 😢

What is the point of making a will if it’s going to be contested!

How dare think that they would be entitled to benefit? What, because they are related? I'm doing the same.

If you do the probate forms yourself which are not difficult to do you get a reply within 6 weeks. Benefit forms are harder to do. Anything over £325k is subject to inheritance tax.

Looks like the children of entitlement just got a good hard slap of reality but doubtful they will learn anything from this.

His money, move on.

Grandchildren? What about their parents, his kids..

Children and grandchildren do not have a right to receive anything from their parents. It’s their parents money and they can do with it what they will. Very pleased that this judge.Imo

"Sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child." (Shakespeare - "King Lear")

So like this lawyer, who is still making money while "in their grave" a family should be sat down to talk about why this happened! instead of lawyers getting involved to "pull families apart" try pull them back together, but to fare, I'd expect nothing less from this women, its something she enjoys doing, she's certainly not a voice of reason.

What a great man 😁

Ms.Paula!! Hhmmn.... Great knowlege on all thing's wicked...

Revenge is a terrible thing

Money is not everything! To Money lovers is everything!

And this is why lawyers make so much money because it’s all about somebody said this and somebody else said that and they fight as long as you pay them the only winners out of any argument like this on lawyers. I cannot stand that woman, especially when she’s on Piers Morgan and it all as we used to say, but knows nothing as to common sense, but she knows everything about making money.

How have we got here you Work? You earn your money, but it will never really be yours as we have people like this, deciding what you could do with it whether they are alive or dead. How the hell did we get here again lawyers always are the ones smiling.

My brother is getting a lot of my mum whilst she is sound of mind however is that a good enough reason for that many thousands of pounds he has gotten out of her can be deducted when my mum passes?

The grandchildren want to think themselves lucky, most people's weath has to go on home care or paying for staying in a home. The Lawyer must have cost more than £50 no doubt.

Where the body is - there the vultures gather.

Grandpa is so rude😂
