Mrs R from Devon

Mrs. R had been with the same employer for many years. The employer’s Will left her a large sum of money, but only if she was still employed at the time of death.

Shortly before she passed away, the employer was taken to a hospice, and Mrs R was asked to work at an alternative location by family members of the employer. Mrs. R agreed to this request but was refused the gift left to her in the Will on the basis that Mrs. R’s employment had come to an end when she was asked to work at an alternative location. The family said they had become her new employers at that time.

Mrs. R approached for advice, and we are now pursuing a claim on her behalf. We are saying that her employment was not terminated by the deceased nor transferred to the family members.

We say Mrs. R’s employment continued under the original employer until her passing, and she is entitled to the inheritance. A £100,000 claim is being pursued and the case is ongoing.
