rhionnachAs I write this I know I no longer have access to my parent's house anymore. The Evil Bitch has broken in with the help of a locksmith and that is that. Now all that remains is for me to hope that I am granted Legal Aid with which to fight my case. My application is in but you never can tell with these things as to how it will go. If I don't get Legal Aid I will not be able to challenge the will any further as it has to go to the Court of Session in Edinburgh. I would have to settle for my minimum entitlement as the only child which is half the movable estate. This would mean that the Evil Bitch gets away with the house and the other half of the movable estate.
I had a call before lunchtime from one of my mother's neighbours who told me that the Evil Bitch was at the house with a locksmith. This was something she had been threatening to do, along with reporting the car as stolen, which is what she did on Monday. I had a call from the police about the car situation but they seem to be satisfied that it's not a simple case of me making off with it but is part of a bigger issue over the will.
I've managed to retrieve the majority of the photos from the house, although I know there are some I simply cannot find and which I would dearly love to find as they are of my grandparents on my mother's side and my uncle. It's the memories and personal things that are important, these are the things you would want to rescue in a fire. But it's the downright unfairness of it all, the sneaky way she went behind my back and persuaded my mother to change her will in her favour. Everyone who knew my mother has said that she wouldn't do this to me, that the Evil Bitch has persuaded her to do this. I think I know it too, but sometimes it all gets too much and I wonder how and why my mother thought to do this to me. Was I really so bad to her?
If my sister had still been alive then the house would have had to be sold in her favour in order to allow her to live in supported accommodation as she was autistic. But that would be OK, she was my sister and not some random greedy stranger who wheedled her way into my mother's trust (and mine).
Now all that is left to me is the fight. I know I could come out of this really badly as I am reliant on getting the Legal Aid otherwise I'm buggered. I am mulling over a suggestion put to me about setting up a Paypal account for fighting fund donations. I have a Paypal account anyway but I'm not sure if this is a good thing to do or not. I'm really very unsure.

But if you set up a fighting fund before you get their decision, they may well take that into account and say you have the wherewithal, and therefore do not need it, even if you might otherwise have qualified. Perhaps you could wait for the decision first, and then set up the fund if all else fails? Of course, that will mean people will have less time to pay into the fund before the court case.
