Hi, my father died 5 weeks ago. He was married to his second wife and they owned a home. Me and my two sisters didn't get on with his other half due to a messy divorce from my mother (irrelevant, I know).
He gave my mum the house 20 years ago and he kept his superannuation. He used his superannuation to pay or part pay for the house he was living in. The will which we haven't seen as yet because his wife says she hasn't got it yet, which I feel she's holding back for some reason, will have nothing for me and my sisters on it cash-wise. We know this cause he was on a pension after he used his superannuation for the house.
I feel we are entitled to part of his half of the house. Does that make sense? I feel she should either pay me and my sisters out or sell the house and pay us out, or haven't we got a hope in hell ?
Regards
