Inheritance in scotland

diane1981

Hi I hope someone can give advice here.

My gran has left a will in which my uncles have been left a set amount of cash. We think he won't be happy with this amount and try to contest it. I know he can make a legal rights claim and would likely be entitled to 1/3 (as there is 3 children) of half of her moveable estate ( savings in the bank ) . She also own her own home. Now I know her home will be sold upon her death, will that money be included in the moveable assets ? She is worried sick that he is gonna get more than what she wants him to have as he has very little communication with her and causes her nothing but upset. This is on Scotland so law is slightly different to England.

Hi @diane1981 I'm really sorry to read about your situation and the effect its having on your Gran and your family. I would recommend seeking some professional legal advice on this matter to put your minds at rest.

The law in Scotland is VERY different to England in that you can't cut kids out of your will here. You definitely need to seek legal advice on this

Shes not cutting him out her will, he is down for a share of it. My question was if the sale of her house is combined with what's classed as moveable assets.
