My mother owned a property in spain in her name only as my stepfather was bankrupt. In december 2010 on a visit to england my mum died.No wills were made in spain or england. My stepfather now says that he is having the house put entirely in his name and that they had a hand written will that is legally binding , leaving everything to him.Can he do this ? He has two sons from a previous marriage, and my mum has two daughters from her first marriage. There are no children from their marriage.
