<p style="text-align: justify;">The deceased&#8217;s children attempted to overturn their father&#8217;s Will on the basis that their father was delusional.  Their father left almost £6.7 million largely  to a charitable trust.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The case report can be found <a href="http://www.bailii.org/scot/cases/ScotCS/2013/2013CSOH63.html">here</a> and a report from the Herald <a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/children-of-abuser-fail-to-change-67m-charity-will.20920992?j=276654&amp;e=james@legalknowledgescotland.com&amp;l=346_HTML&amp;u=8365627&amp;mid=1062735&amp;jb=0">here</a>.</p>
