Charity Loses in Attempt to Increase Share of Estate

14 May 2010

The RSPCA was unsuccessful recently in its bid to contest a will, pressing ahead to court proceedings with what was described as an ‘extremely weak’ case.

The charity, which inherited two thirds of a millionaire’s estate, demanded an even bigger sum from the man’s three residuary beneficiaries, claiming that the beneficiaries should share in the legal costs and Inheritance Tax liability.

The case was thrown out and the charity was ordered to pay the full costs of the hearing and denied leave to appeal.
