I'm talking about it from Nevill's point of view. If he hadn't died that night, Sheila might have thought his Will was unfair. It's not as if he cut Jeremy out if he didn't keep farming, he simply divided his assets between them, which is fairly normal.

Actually he didn't: June got the money.

According to some farming friends, a division between a son and daughter is usually 70/30 on the presumption that the son will be running the farm and eventually supporting a wife and family, whereas a daughter will have a husband to support her. Of course, this wasn't the case with Sheila, who, it seems, was always going to need financial support..................so, too, would her boys.

Not true.

As I said earlier ...

I don't know if that was Nevill's intention. It might be that he thought Jeremy would need more money than Sheila if he was going to keep the farm running.

The document is ambiguous Kaldin. If you look at Clause 4b (magnifying glasses out) it's quite clear that June gets the income from the Farm whilst she is living. It's only when both Nevill and June die that Jeremy inherits the Farm.

Does that mean interest from the residue?

It's a very ambiguous and confusing Will.

I think Nevill expected to die before his wife and was leaving her with the mess to sort out. Maybe he was hoping that if they lived another twenty years Jeremy would have settled down by then (remember they gave the go-ahead for Jeremy to marry Julie around Christmas 1984).

Like Jeremy needed their permission. 

I don't know. The love of money can cause so many problems.

I've met Jeremy in person. Like I said met him in person. He was nothing like that. I'm not even championing the man's innocence

They already forbade him to marry Suzette, hence the astounding decision they gave him the nod.

Where did you get that from?

Wasn't he threatened with being cut out of the will? That would have been a disaster. He had no qualifications and didn't care for hard work. Marriage with Suzette may not have been the idyll he's imagined.

It's in the CAL book David. You see the background in this case is crucial, not that I'm excusing the murder of five for one moment.
