    not sure if this has been covered before, its happened to a friend of mine and curious of what the outcome could be.Basically a friend was left a parcel of land in his uncles will, from what he told me this was left to his uncle by his mother in her will. The problem is that the land was never registered in his uncles name. Now other uncles and aunts are saying they have a claim to the land and the uncles will is not binding.other parcels of land where left to cousins and this was registered. any ideas on what the most likely outcome of this would be?

    Well it all depends on the brothers and sisters TBH but I wont take your aunts and uncles word on the issues re the binding will. The only person who can pronunce on the validity of a will is a Circuit or High Court Judge.

    It is impossible to give you and sort of guidance here as there are so many issues and permutations.

    You need a good solicitor to guide you through this. It is a step by step process and not for the faint hearted.

    thanks for that, know he has a good solictor. What would be the situation with the registration if the relatives end up not objecting?

    Ultimately the failure to register is not really a big deal as long as the uncle was indeed the beneficial owner and in occupation.

    My husband has a child from a brief relationship prior to our marriage and has supported him financially up to adulthood.After many years of minimal contact they have begun a nice relationship(by phone as they live on different continents).Recently we were discussing our wills and we wanted to do the right thing for this child but we also want to protect our own children.We were talking of leaving him 25% of what the other children would receive but does this seem right?We are not well off but would like to be as fair as we can.He is now an adult with his own family and our children are fully dependent for a long time to come.Would appreciatew any help.Thanks
