Advice on a Will??

    quick background:

    my grandfather passed away 4 years ago and left everything to his nephew. In his will he requested the nephew to look after and maintain his wife for her life (who is still very much alive & healthy) and to pay X amount (small amount of cash) to a select few nieces, neither my grandma or aunts have received a penny, no support or maintenance for my grandma, anything that needed fixing or maintaining at the house has been done by herself, although the nephew continues to use her farmland and yards for his own benefit, there has been many solicitors letters to him trying to get him to look after her, but nothing yet. There was a clause in the Will saying he had 4 years to carry out the requests in the will, the 4 years will be up 1st August and we are wondering can the will be contested if he hasnt carried out the terms of the will by the date?? Does anyone have any experience of a similar or can anyone recommend a resolution???

    Would mediation be the way to go??

    Your Grandma needs a solicitor.

    Was that will even put into probate?

    Did your Grandma agree to give up her legal rights at the time? She'd be entitled to a lot more from your Grandfather's estate than a request to be looked after.

    Yes Probate is finalised. He agreed with her in solicitors office that he would look after her and carry out deceased's wishes in the will. She hasn't given up her legal rights, but recently he made an offer through his solicitor to pay her off with €15,000 and more or less get rid of the 'problem' can she contest the will or is it too late, shes meeting with her solicitor later in the week.
