Dear Lloydy,

In principle you should be able to contest the will, if you mother was living in Spain and had no assets abroad. You indicate also that your mom put herself down as Irish citizen and then you talk about UK laws. As it is quite important, can you please clarify what nationality was she when she died?

You can contact me direct if you wish to clarify aspect of your application for challenging the will as you should do this ONLY if you have supporting legislation and case law which, on the basis of what you say, should be the case.

Best regards
Antonio
