will

[thos]

A cousin died childless.He had a thriving shop business and property. An amount of 400,000 pounds is at stake.In his will he left the money to his surviving cousins totalling 20.However his godson (no blood relative) who worked in the shop ) claims everything should go to him. He says his godfather promised it to him because they were close ,He cites the fact he called him uncle and has witnesses to that effect. Nevertheless he is not mentioned in the will nor does anyone know that his godfather made such a promise.This problem has been in the hands of a solicitor for 4 years and still no resolution.It begs the question why make a will when someone can make a claim such as this.what shou we do ?

It's a shame we still don't know who instructed the solicitor. It all sounds a bit odd to me.
Please can you update us thos after you've put all these Answerbank responses to the solicitor. Cheers
