DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER I had an affair my mum left me out of her will.
I divorced my husband 15 years ago and ever since that day my parents didn’t want to know me.
My sister sided with my parents, so we haven’t spoken either.
Ten years ago my dad died, which broke my heart because we were estranged.
I tried on a few occasions to make it up with my mum.
She did attend my wedding three years ago, but she wasn’t interested in reconciliation.
I’m 52 and my husband is 54. Mum died two months ago and I’ve been desperately sad ever since.
My 55-year-old brother, who I do get on with, has now told me Mum had left everything to him and my sister.

I’m devastated and hurt that she came to my wedding knowing she’d changed her will.
This has now caused a rift between me and my brother.

DEIDRE SAYS: This must have been a horrible shock.
Under English law, in a will you can leave your estate to whoever you like and exclude whoever you like also.
You could try to make a claim via the courts, but you may want to consider asking your siblings if they are willing to include you.
