Hello, Perhaps someone could give me a second opinion on the following
Basically my uncle died two years ago without making a will, he was single.
He had two brothers who pre-deceased him - one being my father who had a family of five sons and the other my uncle Peter who had one son.
In other words he had six nephews in all and we are his next-of-kin.
My brother is handling the administration of our uncle's estate by agreement.
We were of the opinion that the estate would be divided equally between all six of us ..........but not so according to the solicitor. He says that our cousin will get half of the estate and that the other half will be divided equally between us five brothers - could this be correct ?
Your opinions / experiences in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
