My father died and my stepmother lived. She has not mentioned me in her will. She had a daughter before she married my father. They had two children together. Everything my father worked for all his life has been left to the others and not even a photo have I received. Can I do anything to claim a fair share ?
Separately, I was left some money by my mother-in-law. Her son is executor of the will. He has only paid me half what I was to receive and refused to pay the rest, saying he can do what he likes as he is the executor.
