with australians......
after the rampaging goat story last week I now read that Valmai Roche, who died last year, left a fortune of around £2.1million.
She bequeathed her children and ex husband the princely sum of around 90p each.
Why?
Well....apparently she suspected they conspired in the death of her mother. she wrote in her will that she left "30 pieces of silver of the lowest denomination of currency" to her family - which translates as 30 five cent coins each - claiming it was "blood money due to Judas".
The rest of her vast fortune she left to the Southern Cross, a Catholic Men's charity.
Needless to say her daughters are contesting the will  |

They're probably glad to be rid of the old hag. Can you imagine how she must have made their lives hell for some crime she thought they'd committed. I hope the children win their case. |

I hope they didn't give her a lavish send-off. I'd tell the undertaker to stick her in a bread bag and lob her in a skip.
Obviously (he says, with absolutely no knowledge of the story apart from what he read above), she was bat-shit mental. If she had proof her family killed her mother she'd surely have told the authorities?
Not that you should rely on a dead person's money, my Dad told me that many years ago. (I suspect that he's trying to tell me something, that the ancestral castle, Lordship and family business empiremay not be coming my way. Bollocks, better get back to work then.....) |

thin is I think I am right but in a uk will, If you exclude someone by name such as
My daughter Sue Jones is to be excluded from my will as she has not spoken to me in 20 yrs
this is binding in law and cannot easily be got around especially if witnesses can be found to confirm it
its her money
let her decide where it goes I say
Unless they have grounds for her not being od sound mind then its ok |
