UK - Now more difficult to disinherit

Here's a story making news at the moment. Her mother wanted to disinherit her but the latest ruling is that the estranged daughter will now receive 1/3 of the estate.

This could be important for Mrs Don and I. We have no children and want to leave the vast majority of our estate to charity. It is likely that our estate will be considerable and so it could make sense for our living relatives (probably nephews, nieces and their descendants) to challenge our will and deprive the charities of much needed funds.

My feeling is unless it can be shown that the deceased was not in their right mind and/or were coerced then I think wills should stand even if those people who feel they "ought" to have inherited haven't received what they thought they deserved. We've already had several threads of that type on this forum and I've seen exactly the same in Mrs Don's family.
