London - The daughter of a pensioner found dead at home with her husband has won a £300 000 inheritance fight against her step-sister after a judge could not be sure which parent died first.
The wrangle was one of the first of its kind since the 1950s after a Chelsea family was killed by a Blitz bomb. Yesterday Judge Philip Kramer said it must be presumed that Mr Scarle, 79, died first because he was ten years older than Marjorie, 69. The property was in disarray, with windows broken and a door ajar, suggesting it had been vandalised or burgled.
But Mrs Winter claimed her stepmother probably died first, meaning her father inherited his wife’s share of the house, and so she should get their joint estate.
