Hi vidvic am I correct in assuming had Jeremy Bamber not been convicted of murdering his entire family the whole of the Estate would have gone to him or would some of it gone to Colin.
It was to do with there being no order of death. The way Ann describes it, it was treated like a car crash and all the victims were considered to have all died at the same time. NGB explained it to me but I've since forgotten the terminology. Basically it went down the line from Nevill & June to Jeremy/Sheila, Jeremy is not allowed to benefit so all goes to Sheila, then she passes to the twins, but there is an age rule in these circumstances (Help me NGB), so it pings back up to June who I think was the eldest. Her closest relative is Pam......
By my logic, if Jeremy was not guilty, he'd have got everything as Sheila's half would have 'bounced' back up the family tree for the same reasons. Also, Bamber would be able to claim that Sheila should not benefit from HER crime and he'd get it all that way...
