What's It Got? It's Got The Lot!

Sometimes a case comes along that has so many issues for consideration you could almost be forgiven for not appreciating that when all said and done the underlying issues in the case are such that it amounts to a probate claim.  One such case is the recent case of Ugolor & Ors V Ugolor [2021].

The defendant, Glenroy Ugulor ("Glenroy") made an application to the court seeking permission to allow him to re-mortgage a property known as 41 St Donatts Road, London ("Donatts").  Glenroy claimed that the property formed part of his late mother's estate and that he would inherit the bulk of it pursuant to the terms of her will dated 23 March 2008 ("the 2008 will").  Glenroy's two sisters and his brother ("the siblings") disputed the validity of the 2008 will and asserted that their mother had died intestate.
