Jill Langley successfully took her father's new wife to court after she was left out of his will. Jill’s father Robert - who died aged 94 - had updated his will just two months before his passing, leaving everything he owned to his wife of 11 months, Chelsea. The judge ruled that the will was invalid and that his wife had exerted ‘undue influence’ and ‘control’ over Robert and his finances, including being the ‘guiding hand’ behind his last will. Jill shares her story alongside her solicitor Caoimhe Turner to explain why this is a landmark case.

My husband's stepmother 2 years older than him and 25 younger than his deceased dad buried my husbands dad in a new grave and not with my hubby's mum and now my father in law is dead she refuses to give the deeds so that my husband can look after his mums grave who died when he was a young man of 21.

@MrJohnsolomon 5 күн бұрын

@@bambinaforever1402I agree that she was estranged and hadn't seen her father for at least a year and she would have found out if she had visited him. Her dad was right to try to keep his wife at home if he loves her. Who would so nonchalantly dump their mother in a care home if they have money to pay for her to be at home? However, she earned him at least part of the million pounds. The new wide hadn't invested any part of herself in that business so, I'd say she's entitled to something but not so much. Anyway, I was shocked when she said so easily that she received a letter telling her about the wedding a year afterwards. She obviously wasn't that worried for her elderly father's wellbeing.

This is very common now, people who benefitted from their parents death then not passing on that wealth to their own children as well as becoming entangled in predatory relationships as they lose their cognitive ability. This is low hanging fruit for people tempted by financial gain and I know more than one adult child with a parent being preyed upon by a “love interest”. There is a reason people throughout human history pass on what assets they have to help their family survive and hopefully thrive. This generation now approaching their 80s and above has broken this unspoken rule and yet lived with some of the greatest wealth opportunities seen in the past century. As this generation needs significant help in dementia care it is even more important courts can protect family who are nearly always the only ones doing the care work and upholding basic protections for their loved one.

I totally understand that this can happen as was the case with my husband's mother who was 100% influenced by other family members at the age of 84. Some countries protect the children by not allowing them to be completely written out and in this day and age of remarriages this is not a bad idea! Glad she won!! The new wife should have made an arrangement with the daughter and made it fair, but greed got the better of her, I'm glad she lost it all!!!

Its amazing to me that your brain can ignore the fact that the new wife, 4 decades younger than him, married him less that a year before he died and when he wrote his new will leaving her everything, 2 months before his death, made multiple mistakes about his own life - not even knowing where he was from - meaning his mind clearly was not functioning properly and he couldn’t even recollect things properly. I *highly* doubt that if you found yourself in the exact same position with your own father/mother you wouldn’t do the exact same thing and not even for the money but because someone has taken advantage of your parent who was vulnerable.

This woman is right, old people have assets, and they are lonely and vulnerable. Scams happen every day. Kids, keep your parents close. Also, get their dementia diagnosed, as that will prevent scammers from changing the will. All parents should give their kids a copy of their will, no need to list assets.

The daughter said that he refused to spend his money on Care Home fees, that’s the real reason he kept his wife at home. The fact he didn’t pay his daughter decent wages for all her hard work in building up his business shows that when it came to money, he had a mean streak. I know men like this, relying on their daughters love to get them to do everything so they don’t have to pay other people to do the work.

But sometimes we need to admit we can't cope with doing that. A friend of mine is quite aged but she cares for her mother with Dementia. She has cut many of us off because we told her that she is making herself ill looking after her mother and that her mother would receive more appropriate care in a Nursing home. Their house is an absolute tip, the mother often looks disheveled. The garden is so overgrown you can barely get to the front door. Neither of them eat well. It is so sad.

Anosognia is a symptom of dementia. Lack of understanding and capacity is also common. I am a mental health nurse and also supported both my parents through this. The key thing is to secure power of attorney early on when the relative is fully aware of their decisions. POA does not mean that the person cannot go carrying on living with maximum independence for as long as is feasible..

This happened with my grandmother two weeks before dying. Emotionally manipulated by the youngest adult daughter. In Australia there seems very little come back around manipulated emotions, as harder to measure especially if there is a small amount left in the will for the other while another receives a million dollar property. Unfortunately many don't hv the income to fight something like this.

Undue influence and control, are we referring to UK govt?

@PotterSpurn1 4 күн бұрын

Reading between the lines: if the daughter won her case due to a contested Will based on Non-Compus Mentis, Undue Influence and I suspect Promissory Estoppel had some bearing on the amount she got, that also suggests that the daughter contested due to being 'owed' money she had failed to get in life - as asserted in this video - and because her father was not thinking right anymore (non-compos) but also - and most critically - that his new wife had asserted some sort of threat against her husband that she would not take care of him unless he left her his money. Undue influence always involves negative not positive influence - some sort of threat or fear of something they might lose 'unless they.....', it is not about persuasion. Seems like a mean spirited old man whose new wife was exploitative of him and just as nasty to him as he had been to his daughter over how he had badly treated his first wife.
