Father left a £600,000 house to one daughter and £250 to two others in costly court fight

A father who left his £600,000 home to one daughter, and just £250 each to his other two children, has had his final will set aside by a court. Laxmikant Patel died in October 2021, aged 85, and the will had been made two months earlier. His daughter Bhavenetta Stewart-Brown challenged it, and Deputy Master Jason Raeburn called the circumstances of the 2021 document "highly suspicious" before reinstating an earlier will from 2019. Reportedly, Anju Patel, together with her brother, was ordered to pay Ms Stewart-Brown's costs of over £450,000, as well as her own legal fees.
