'Our aunt left us the family farm in her will but we fear her widower is not following her wishes'

"The land was left to our uncle for his lifetime - but we haven't seen the will and now he has applied to take our aunt's name off the Land Registry records"

"My aunt died a few years ago and in her will, the farm was left to my uncle (her husband) for his lifetime, with instructions that after his death the farm should be sold and the proceeds shared among her nieces and nephews."

"She had told her family before she died that this was in her will, and needless to say we thought it was a good idea as the farm had come from her side of the family."

A farm was left in a will to an uncle for his lifetime. After the uncle’s death, the farm was intended to be sold and the sale proceeds shared among the nieces and nephews. The aunt died a few years earlier, and the family believed the plan was in her will. The family has not seen the will. The uncle has now applied to remove the aunt’s name from Land Registry records, creating uncertainty about the intended arrangements and the family’s rights to the proceeds after his death.
