Will dispute on fractional inheritance in a four party case
A Victorian era will creates a two thirds share for a posthumous son and one third for the widow, but a birth of twins alters the division. The child is deemed to be two thirds of the estate while the widow receives one third. A sister and the widow contest whether the daughter and son can alter entitlements under the will. The case hinges on whether the widow should receive a fixed third or a varying share based on the number and gender of the children born after the testator's death.
