Apropos the bequest by Miss Edwards (£500,000) Dan Hodges muses:
"Bit of common sense? Is it more likely elderly pensioner wanted money a) To go to random parties to print leaflets attacking each other... or b) Go to the government of the day to help schools and hospitals."
Presumably Mr Hodges is aware that to be valid the will would have been drawn up by lawyers, gone through a lawyer-supervised probate, and then been executed by lawyers.
There should be no room for any doubt over who the bequest is intended for.
Indeed, if the money has been paid to the wrong people the lawyers could be prosecuted for professional incompetence and professional misconduct.
And if the lawyers tell someone they have been left a bequest they must either accept it or refuse it - and if they refuse then the money goes to the next person named in the will (not to schools or hospitals).
So you can keep your finger out of this pie Mr Hodges.
