Protect Your Inheritance



Long time ago having lived in a lovely house in Brooklands Parade Wolverhampton Staffs United Kingdom I was promised the land of milk and honey by someone who thought had a minimum interest or esteem in me.
I believed this promise for years not taking much notice of it either because I always knew in my heart that there was a dagger waiting for me behind his back although I did not want to believe it.
Without writing an emotional soap opera or family saga or fall for all that karma junk I will tell you that my own intuition told me the very day I had a disagreeable encounter with this very same person that what they had been promising me and telling me for years was not true there was deceit jealousy and hatred at the back of it. Now to find all that out in two seconds while you are busy trying to rescue someone in extreme distress is a pretty tough thing to handle. (The person in distress was my Mom terminally ill) and the other Person well stood there tall like a Rooster gloating over his new found power or so he thought over me.
So while I was calming her down and helping her to breather better he was still gloating there and feeling very proud of himself I was taking all this in and the word liars kept coming up again and again and feeling also very puzzled and betrayed too this can hurt more than anything.
Well thats the basic story of the promise.
What was I promised? A part of the House in their Will. Ok ok the same old story.
Legally I was in the Will and up until then everything seemed to be fine.

Now this seems fine you will inherit part of something the two said People are still alive ok seems like I personally don´t have to do anything. Not so.

It seems that if in the Will and Testament there are two People who have written out this Will if one of them passes on and if nothing is made clear by the Person who has passed on then the other Person can do what he wants with the Will. Pretty sure you know what that means. Means if the other surviving Person wants you out you are out with a capital O. If the Will is changed like this apparently the surviving does not have to notify you of any changes at least in my case I was never ever informed of anything.

So take note and get a Lawyer to explain things carefully to you as these Testaments are not usually written in everyday language. It´s a bit like a Doctors Prescription you´re not meant to read it. But the thing is here you can become complacent and leave everything to everyone else and this is where you could lose out. If you´ve been left something you´re worth it but other People can easily change things around so be careful. Enjoy your money!!!

So the other Person who has passed on should really make it clear way beforehand anything like this could happen legally what he or she wants this means possibly going to a Public Notary and have the Will and Testament made official there. Now doing this means it cannot ever be undone no matter what the other surviving Person wants at least with the half the deceased person has left you. Not sure what happens to the half of the surviving Person well if they want you out they will leave you out anyway.


Two People had now new found power in the Family but I suspected that this new found power had been there a long long time in the background simmering away. So things came to a head and with no one to back me up I was forced to leave the House where I had been staying in and I was never to be able to see again for a long long time.
Part of all this game had been taking place behind my back just because I had to live in another Country for many years and I was never really in that Will right from the beginning.
Having to live away from your Family can change People not really you yourself but others yes they think that your grass is greener than theirs alas how I wish that this had been so.
I was prised out of the Will and to receive a Copy of the actual Will in your own hands and realise what has gone on is not a very nice experience bit like having another "dagger" " waiting around" so hoping that you will never experience this I suggest that if you have ever been promised an inheritance take up a lawyer and get legal advice about how you can protect your part of the inheritance for your own sake.
Wills can divide Families believe you me they can rupture the core of a so called Family.
There are many times that I´ve seen this on Spanish Television the tragedy of inheriting an inheritance with a Family like I´ve had and other People have had.
Some people have gone to incredible lengths to get other People out of the Will in question I´m talking about other Families here.
I´m well over mine and realise that for anyone who is in another Country things can go on behind their back without them realising it until it has happened. But now that the Horse has bolted its too late to shut the stable door.
A really good advisor whom I found in England is http://www.bequest.co.uk he is a real expert and will glady advise you on your possible problems with any inheritance you might have coming to you. He really is a great guy and I´m writing this as a way of thanking him for his help albeit too late for me to do anything about it.
Now I´ve seen Spanish Families practically tear each other to pieces humiliate themselves publically nationwide this is not something I would ever do it really is a matter of honour in my case I cannot hate these said people but it has put for now a big divide between me and them but because thats what they want so be it!!!
So keeping away from the emotional junk get yourself informed about any property house, flat, land whatever it maybe it even be a Racehorse who knows the thing is not to let things go if you can do something about it. If it is within your power to do something and protect yourself for goodness sake do it don´t put it off till tomorrow. You could find yourself singing "Alas my love you do me wrong to cast me off so discourteously" This is no joke mate our kid this can happen.
Real Estate can and will bring misery, family hatred and discord when not placed in the right context. Stand up for yourself mate and use your head.
Last Will and Testament this cause rivers of pages and words for a long long time to come as being Humans some of us like to cause harm to others.

Moral of the Story although "the Inheritors of the Earth" now have their Money and they are all Happy and Smiling they probably do not have what I have I´m stoney broke but with a rented House but a nice one a great family, countryside which stretches far and wide, breathtaking scenery to behold need I go on. Sometimes I wish that they would have left me a mere morsel of that Money but now a Year later it seems to me like I would be having money that "stinks" need I say more?

Being from Wolverhampton, us Wulfrunians tend to speak out for justice where injustice has been done. Speaking our own mind first before thinking. Whilst I won´t gain any fans with this kind of Story I hope at least it will take the blinkers off others and they will be able to see the light bit like a lighthouse. Also I am closer to Wolverhampton always even though I live in another Country sometimes you have to live where you live albeit not having much choice. Maybe if I won enough Money I might be able to go back and buy the same House but it would never be the same. There you go fellas us Wulfrunians are real soap box speakers in our own right lol. Be seeing ya our kid.

Evicted Through Love

Another example of how not getting your rights settled in a Last Will and Testament is what I was watching a few Days back.
A man and his boyfriend had lived together for fifteen whole years although never married this man if his partner had died would have had the same rights as a married person.
His Boyfriend did die of Leukemia and it seems no Testament was left or if it was left it was not made official by a Notary.
He was living in a Rented Flat which they had shared all that time and the Neighbours knew him also but no one would testify for him to validate his situation.
He was left completely helpless and he had to abandon the Flat with "the others" waiting outside the Door.
The Boyfriend was crying his eyes out. The Flat was kept in an impeccable condition they were just ousting him out to get other People in and charge much higher rent.
All this happened because this poor man did not think at the time that this could happen to him.
Being in Love is one thing but you have to protect your rights whatever your status.
It seems that something had been left him but the status of the Flat had not been settled in a Public Notary.
So he was forced to get out and he cried so much that it almost broke my Heart to listen to him.
So you see don´t leave everything to chance like he did although it was indeed not his fault.

For Love or Money.

They encounter a Man sleeping in a Car. They interview him and ask what is he doing in such conditions?
He answers them in no short terms I´m here because the Woman I have lived with for the past forty years has thrown me out of the House and I have nowhere else to go so I sleep in my Car. He is aged 77 years old.
This Man it appears is not married to the Woman it was not made clear whether he enquired about his Civil Rights in an Official Court or not.
Everyone in this Country is entitled to a Lawyer if they have no means of paying one themselves.
Through not having a clear Will and Testament made and made Official through a Notary this is what can happen to anyone anytime.
This is only one of the many situations that occur time and time again.
Whether or not the Woman is still living this Man has certain rights because he has lived in the same House for forty years.
