Hi,

I am sure there are experts here who will be able to explain all, but I have
come across this quite a few times, heir (to whatever small portion) not
mentioned at all. One or two that I have found do mention the heir, I
remember one that states the eldest son had already had a messuage and
tenement settled on him, and another said that the heir had already had
'their full part and filial porcion'. Pretty much like my kids......

Subject: [OEL] Heir not mentioned in will

Dear all,

I've asked about this a good while back, but I could really do with seeing
some statistics, or does anyone know of any study on the heir/ess and
his/her lines not being mentioned in their father/mother's will?

I've now come across this in two of my lines, and would like to know whether
it is commonplace?

Thank you for any help.
Regards, Yvonne
