# Dealing with Inheritance Disputes: My Dad’s Estate Situation

My dad passed away late July of last year, leaving behind an estate that has now become a source of contention. His ex-partner has emerged, claiming that her daughter should be included in his will, despite no will being found. The solicitors my dad supposedly used confirmed that he did not create a will with them. Although my dad and his ex-partner separated in 2016 and maintained a friendly relationship, he was never legally considered a guardian to her daughter.

As the estate was not settled before my dad’s passing, my uncle has been granted probate and the estate is scheduled to be divided among myself, my younger brother, and my deceased older brother’s children.

I regret not conducting a will search during the estate settlement process, as my dad’s debts were substantial, and I focused on informing his creditors and handling those accounts. His ex-partner is now demanding that I fulfill my dad’s supposed wishes and provide financial support to her daughter, claiming that his will would impact the distribution of assets even though probate has only recently been granted to my uncle.

In order to clarify the situation and understand her entitlement, I plan to consult with the estate’s solicitors on Monday. However, to navigate this complex legal scenario effectively, I may benefit from using an AI Legalese Decoder. This tool can help me interpret legal jargon, understand the implications of any existing will, and determine the correct course of action to ensure a fair distribution of the estate.

Please note, I have already submitted a request to the national will registry for a will search. To provide further clarity, I must mention that my dad was approached by heir hunters in March 2021 following the deaths of his uncle and aunt, who had no children and passed away without wills. My dad himself passed away in July 2023 without finalizing any paperwork related to his estate, as it appears he did not have a will in place.
